The ondemand governor does not seem to be affected because the "if (!dbs_info->enable)" check at the beginning of the workqueue handler returns immediately without rescheduling the work. The conservative governor in 2.6.30-rc has the same check as the ondemand governor, which makes things usually run smoothly. However, if the governor is quickly stopped and then started, this could lead to the following race : dbs_enable could be reenabled and multiple do_dbs_timer handlers would run. This is why a synchronized teardown is required. Depends on patch cpufreq: remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call The following patch applies to 2.6.30-rc2. Stable kernels have a similar issue which should also be fixed, but the code changed between 2.6.29 and 2.6.30, so this patch only applies to 2.6.30-rc.

* cpufreq: Initialise default governor before useJohannes Weiner2008-01-171-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the cpufreq driver starts up at boot time, it calls into the default governor which might not be initialised yet. This hurts when the governor's worker function relies on memory that is not yet set up by its init function. This migrates all governors from module_init() to fs_initcall() when being the default, as was already done in cpufreq_performance when it was the only possible choice. The performance governor is always initialized early because it might be used as fallback even when not being the default. Fixes at least one actual oops where ondemand is the default governor and cpufreq_governor_dbs() uses the uninitialised kondemand_wq work-queue during boot-time.

* [CPUFREQ] allow ondemand and conservative cpufreq governors to be used as ↵Thomas Renninger2007-10-041-10/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | default Depending on the transition latency of the HW for cpufreq switches, the ondemand or conservative governor cannot be used with certain cpufreq drivers. Still the ondemand should be the default governor on a wide range of systems. This patch allows this and lets the governor fallback to the performance governor at cpufreq driver load time, if the driver does not support fast enough frequency switching. Main benefit is that on e.g. installation or other systems without userspace support a working dynamic cpufreq support can be achieved on most systems by simply loading the cpufreq driver. This is especially essential for recent x86(_64) laptop hardware which may rely on working dynamic cpufreq OS support.

* | [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.hTim Schmielau2007-02-141-1/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

* [PATCH] Reorganize the cpufreq cpu hotplug locking to not be totally bizareArjan van de Ven2006-07-261-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch below moves the cpu hotplugging higher up in the cpufreq layering; this is needed to avoid recursive taking of the cpu hotplug lock and to otherwise detangle the mess. The new rules are: 1. you must do lock_cpu_hotplug() around the following functions: __cpufreq_driver_target __cpufreq_governor (for CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS operation only) __cpufreq_set_policy 2. governer methods (.governer) must NOT take the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock in any way; they are called with the lock taken already 3. if your governer spawns a thread that does things, like calling __cpufreq_driver_target, your thread must honor rule #1. 4. the policy lock and other cpufreq internal locks nest within the lock_cpu_hotplug() lock. I'm not entirely happy about how the __cpufreq_governor rule ended up (conditional locking rule depending on the argument) but basically all callers pass this as a constant so it's not too horrible. The patch also removes the cpufreq_governor() function since during the locking audit it turned out to be entirely unused (so no need to fix it) The patch works on my testbox, but it could use more testing (otoh... it can't be much worse than the current code) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [CPUFREQ] Fix ondemand vs suspend deadlockVenkatesh Pallipadi2006-06-211-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rootcaused the bug to a deadlock in cpufreq and ondemand. Due to non-existent ordering between cpu_hotplug lock and dbs_mutex. Basically a race condition between cpu_down() and do_dbs_timer(). cpu_down() flow: * cpu_down() call for CPU 1 * Takes hot plug lock * Calls pre down notifier * cpufreq notifier handler calls cpufreq_driver_target() which takes cpu_hotplug lock again. OK as cpu_hotplug lock is recursive in same process context * CPU 1 goes down * Calls post down notifier * cpufreq notifier handler calls ondemand event stop which takes dbs_mutex So, cpu_hotplug lock is taken before dbs_mutex in this flow. do_dbs_timer is triggerred by a periodic timer event. It first takes dbs_mutex and then takes cpu_hotplug lock in cpufreq_driver_target(). Note the reverse order here compared to above. So, if this timer event happens at right moment during cpu_down, system will deadlok. Attached patch fixes the issue for both ondemand and conservative.

Whilst making it safe a number of pointless for loops related to the cpu mask's were removed. I was never comfortable with all those for loops, especially as the iteration is over the same data again and again for each CPU you had in a single poll, an O(n^2) outcome to frequency scaling. The approach I use is to assume by default no CPU's exist and it sets the requested_freq to zero as a kind of flag, the reasoning is in the source ;) If the CPU is queried and requested_freq is zero then it initialises the variable to current_freq and then continues as if nothing happened which should be the same net effect as before?

This patch addresses the lack of updates in that period and brings conservative back up to date. The resulting diff file between cpufreq_ondemand.c and cpufreq_conservative.c is now much smaller and shows more clearly the differences between the two. Another reason to do this is ages ago, knowingly, I did a piss poor attempt at making conservative less responsive by knocking up DEF_SAMPLING_RATE_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER by two orders of magnitude. I did fix this ages ago but in my dis-organisation I must have toasted the diff and left it the way it was. About two weeks ago a user contacted me saying he was having problems with the conservative governor with his AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ as /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative showed sampling_rate_min 9950000 sampling_rate_max 1360065408 Nine seconds to decide about changing the frequency....not too responsive :) Signed-off-by: Alexander Clouter <alex-kernel@digriz.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>

This removes the sysfs file 'ignore_nice' and in its place creates a 'ignore_nice_load' entry that defaults to '0'; meaning nice'd processes _are_ counted towards the 'business' calculation. WARNING: this obvious breaks any userland tools that expected ignore_nice' to exist, to draw attention to this fact it was concluded on the mailing list that the entry should be removed altogether so the userland app breaks and so the author can build simple to detect workaround. Having said that it seems currently very few tools even make use of this functionality; all I could find was a Gentoo Wiki entry.

A new cpufreq module, based on the ondemand one with my additional patches just posted. This one is more suitable for battery environments where its probably more appealing to have the cpu freq gracefully increase and decrease rather than flip between the min and max freq's. N.B. Bruno Ducrot pointed out that the amd64's "do have unacceptable latency between min and max freq transition, due to the step-by-step requirements (200MHz IIRC)"; so AMD64 users would probably benefit from this too.
