If I understand the intention correctly, this is for the stability of
the device due to the behavior or bootloader/SoC-initializer, which
has nothing to do with governors.

Even if users are using userspace, as long as they set the custom
frequencies lower than the default, they have the possibility of
being unstable as ondemand is going to have.


To reuse the update_devfreq() code, you may do something like:

static int _update_freq(struct devfreq *devfreq, bool is_suspending)
{
    /* original contents of update_freq with if statement with is_suspending wrapping get_target_freq */
}
int update_freq(struct devfreq *devfreq)
{
	return _update_freq(devfreq, false);
}


There should be other good non-invasive methods that are not governoe-specific as well.

Hi Lin,

We need to discuss how to support the suspend-opp of devfreq device.
Now, there are two patch thread for suspend-opp of devfreq.

The Lin's approach modify the devfreq_suspend_device() to support suspend-opp.
The Tobias's approach[1] add new devfreq_suspend() and then call it on dpm_suspend()
when entering the suspend state.

[1] [RFC 0/4] PM / devfreq: draft for OPP suspend impl
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9443323/
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9443325/
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9443329/
- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9443331/

I think we need to discuss it together.

Hi Chanwoo Choi,

     I think the dev_pm_opp_get_suspend_opp() have implement most of
the funtion, all we need is just define the node in dts, like following:

&dmc_opp_table {
     opp06 {
         opp-suspend;
     };
};

so i think my way semm more simple.

Two approaches use the 'opp-suspend' property.

I think that the method to support suspend-opp have to
guarantee following conditions:
- Support the all of devfreq's governors.
- Devfreq framework have the responsibility to change the
  frequency/voltage for suspend-opp. If we uses the
  new devfreq_suspend(), each devfreq device don't care
  how to support the suspend-opp. Just the developer of each
  devfreq device need to add 'opp-suspend' propet to OPP entry in DT file.

     As MyungJoo Ham suggestion, i will set the suspend frequency in 
devfreq_suspend_device(),
which will ingore governor.

Why should support change the voltage in devfreq framework, i think it 
shuold be handle in
specific driver, i think the devfreq only handle it can get the right 
frequency, then pass it to
specific driver, i think the voltage should handle in the 
devfreq->profile->target();

Other approach already support the all of governors.
Before calling the mail, I discussed with Myungjoo Ham.
Myungjoo prefer to use the devfreq_suspend/devfreq_resume().

To Myungjoo,
Please add your opinion how to support the suspend frequency.

No, the frequency should be handled by governor or framework. 
The each devfreq device has no any responsibility of next frequency/voltage.
The governor and core of devfreq can decide the next frequency/voltage.
You can refer to the cpufreq subsystem.

> specific driver, i think the voltage should handle in the devfreq->profile->target();

The call of devfreq->profile->target() have to be handled by devfreq framework.
If user want to set the suspend frequency, user can add the 'suspend-opp' property.
It think this way is easy. 

But,
If the each devfreq device want to decide the next frequency/voltage only for
suspend state. We can check the cpufreq subsystem.

If specific devfreq device want to handle the suspend frequency,
each devfreq will add the own suspend/resume functions as following:

	struct devfreq_dev_profile {
		int (*suspend)(struct devfreq *dev);	// new function pointer	
		int (*resume)(struct devfreq *dev);	// new function pointer
	} a_profile;

	a_profile = devfreq_generic_suspend;

	The devfreq framework will provide the devfreq_generic_suspend() funticon.
		int devfreq_generic_suspend(struce devfreq *dev) {
			...
			devfreq->profile->target(..., devfreq->suspend_freq);
			...
		}	

	or

	a_profile = a_devfreq_suspend; // specific function of each devfreq device

	The devfreq_suspend() will call 'devfreq->profile->suspend()' function
	instead of devfreq->profile->target(); 

	The devfreq call the 'devfreq->profile->suspend()'
	to support the suspend frequency.

Chanwoo Choi

It is not correct expression. We need to wait the reply from Myungjoo

The key difference between two approaches:

Your approach:
- The each developer should add the 'opp-suspend' property to the dts file.
- The each devfreq should call the devfreq_suspend_device()
  to support the suspend frequency.

  If each devfreq doesn't call the devfreq_suspend_device(), devfreq framework
  can support the suspend frequency.

Other approach:
- The each developer only should add the 'opp-suspend' property to the dts file
  without the additional behavior.

In the cpufreq subsystem,
When support the suspend frequency of cpufreq, we just add 'opp-suspend' property
without the additional behavior.

I'm missing the use-case when using the devfreq_suspend_device()
before entering the suspend mode. We should consider the case when
devfreq device
calls the devfreq_suspend_device() directly. Because devfreq_suspend_device()
is exported function, each devfreq device call this function on the fly
without entering the suspend mode.

I correct my opinion. Your approach is necessary. I'm sorry to confuse you.
So, I make the following patch. This patch set the suspend frequency
in devfreq_suspend_device() after stoping the governor.
It consider the all governors of devfreq.

What do you think?
If you are ok, I'll send this patch with your author.

 int devfreq_suspend_device(struct devfreq *devfreq)
 {
+      int ret = 0;
+
        if (!devfreq)
        return -EINVAL;

        if (!devfreq->governor)
             return 0;

-      return devfreq->governor->event_handler(devfreq,
+     ret = devfreq->governor->event_handler(devfreq,
                    DEVFREQ_GOV_SUSPEND, NULL);
+      if (ret < 0) {
+           dev_err(devfreq->dev.parent, "failed to suspend governor\n");
+           return ret;
+      }
+
+      if (devfreq->suspend_freq) {
+           ret = devfreq->profile->target(devfreq->dev.parent,
+                                      &devfreq->suspend_freq, 0);
+           if (ret < 0) {
+                  dev_err(devfreq->dev.parent,
+                             "failed to set suspend-freq\n");
+                  return ret;
+           }
+           dev_dbg(devfreq->dev.parent, "Setting suspend-freq: %lu\n",
+                          devfreq->suspend_freq);
+      }
+
+      return 0;
 }

The problem I see here is that we need to keep track of the suspended
state when suspending the (entire) devfreq subsystem. When doing that,
we don't know if any device driver has previously called
devfreq_suspend_device() and might end up calling it twice.

Same thing on devfreq subsystem resume.

I've prepared a new RFC of my series (going to send it shortly), but I'm
not so happy with the current design. I think it would be much cleaner
to keep some suspend_refcount in struct devfreq so that I can call
devfreq_suspend_device() multiple times, while keeping a sane internal
state.

Something like devfreq_device_runtime_{put,get}() perhaps?

I agree the devfreq need  reference count for devfreq_suspend/resume_device.
This patch focus on when changing the suspend frequency.

Why do devfreq need new additional functions?
I think the devfreq_suspend/resume_device are enough.

Just thinking out loud here. I would prefer a naming that implies that
some refcounting is going on. When I see a pair of function with
put/get, then I usually know what is going on.

Here I would have to look at the actual implementation to realize, at
the moment, that I have to be careful calling these functions twice.

The suspend/resume name are already used as pair function name.
I think that devfreq_suspend/resume_device() are appropriate.

Usually, '_runtime_put/get' naming means the 'runtime PM' callback function
which handle the all of resource (e.g., clock, regulator, register and so on).

Sure. I'm waiting your patch.
