Subject: [PATCH v2] cpuidle: Add sanity check for exit latency and target residency
Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2025 20:07:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <12779486.O9o76ZdvQC@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
Make __cpuidle_driver_init() fail if the exit latency of one of the
driver's idle states is less than its exit latency which would break
cpuidle assumptions.
Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

v1 -> v2: Make __cpuidle_driver_init() fail if the check is not passed (Artem).
