Subject: [PATCH v1 2/2] cpuidle: governors: teo: Simplify intercepts-based state lookup
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2025 13:35:14 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2418792.ElGaqSPkdT@rafael.j.wysocki> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <12810244.O9o76ZdvQC@rafael.j.wysocki>

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

Simplify the loop looking up a candidate idle state in the case when an
intercept is likely to occur by adding a search for the state index limit
if the tick is stopped before it.

First, call tick_nohz_tick_stopped() just once and if it returns true,
look for the shallowest state index below the current candidate one with
target residency at least equal to the tick period length.

Next, simply look for a state that is not shallower than the one found
in the previous step and, ideally, satisfies the intercepts majority
condition.

Since teo_state_ok() has no callers any more after the above changes,
drop it.

No intentional functional impact.
