Subject: [patch 2/3] cpuidle: Menu governor fix wrong usage of measured_us
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2008 19:21:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080731022215.894712000@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080731022141.088307000@intel.com
[-- Attachment #1: cpuidle_menu_fix.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2836 bytes --]
There is a bug in menu governor where we have
if (data->elapsed_us < data->elapsed_us + measured_us)
with measured_us already having elapsed_us added in tickless case here
unsigned int measured_us =
cpuidle_get_last_residency(dev) + data->elapsed_us;
Also, it should be last_residency, not measured_us, that need to be used to
do comparing and distinguish between expected & non-expected events.
Refactor menu_reflect() to fix these two problems.
