Subject: [PATCH v1 2/3] cpuidle: (POWER) Fix smt_snooze_delay functionality.
Date: Thu, 04 Oct 2012 10:12:18 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121004044215.15921.60142.stgit@deepthi.in.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20121004044154.15921.51256.stgit@deepthi.in.ibm.com>
smt_snooze_delay was designed to delay idle loop's nap entry
in the native idle code before it got ported over to use as part of
the cpuidle framework.
A -ve value assigned to smt_snooze_delay should result in
busy looping, in other words disabling the entry to nap state.
- https://lists.ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2010-May/082450.html
This particular functionality can be achieved currently by
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/state1/disable
but it is broken when one assigns -ve value to the smt_snooze_delay
variable either via sysfs entry or ppc64_cpu util.
This patch aims to fix this, by disabling nap state when smt_snooze_delay
variable is set to -ve value.
