Subject: [RFC][PATCH] thermal/idle_inject: Support 100% idle injection
Date: Thu,  8 Dec 2022 17:36:40 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221209013640.943210-1-srinivas.pandruvada@linux.intel.com> (raw)

The users of idle injection framework allow 100% idle injection. For
example: thermal/cpuidle_cooling.c driver. When the ratio set to 100%,
the runtime_duration becomes zero.

In the function idle_inject_set_duration() in idle injection framework
run_duration_us == 0 is silently ignored, without any error (it is a
void function). So, the caller will assume that everything is fine and
100% idle is effective. But in reality the idle inject will be whatever
set before.

There are two options:
- The caller change their max state to 99% instead of 100% and
document that 100% is not supported by idle inject framework
- Support 100% idle support in idle inject framework

Since there are other protections via RT throttling, this framework can
allow 100% idle. The RT throttling will be activated at 95% idle by
default. The caller disabling RT throttling and injecting 100% idle,
should be aware that CPU can't be used at all.

The idle inject timer is started for (run_duration_us + idle_duration_us)
duration. Hence replace (run_duration_us && idle_duration_us) with
(run_duration_us + idle_duration_us) in the function
idle_inject_set_duration().
