Subject[RFC/RFT][PATCH v4 2/2] cpufreq: schedutil: Switching frequencies from interrupt context
Date
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: schedutil: Switching frequencies from interrupt context

Modify the ACPI cpufreq driver to provide a method for switching
CPU frequencies from interrupt context and update the cpufreq core
and the schedutil governor to use that method if available.

Introduce a new cpufreq driver callback, ->fast_switch, to be
invoked for frequency switching from interrupt context via
new helper function cpufreq_driver_fast_switch().

Modify the schedutil governor to call cpufreq_driver_fast_switch()
from its sugov_update_commit() function and avoid queuing up the
irq_work if that is successful.

Implement the ->fast_switch callback in the ACPI cpufreq driver
(with a limited coverage for the time being).

In addition to the above, cpufreq_governor_limits() is modified so
it doesn't call __cpufreq_driver_target() to enforce the new limits
immediately if the fast_switch_enabled flag is set for the policy,
because in that case the frequency will be updated immediately
using the new limits anyway and the additional invocation of
__cpufreq_driver_target() might be racing with that violating
the cpufreq_driver_fast_switch() requirements.

---

Changes from v3:
- Rebase on the v4 of patch [1/2].
- Change the table lookup algo in acpi_cpufreq_fast_switch() to take the table
ordering into account and to prefer higher frequencies (if the target falls
between two of them).

Changes from v2:
- Rework due to the revised handling of policy->min and policy->max changes.

v2 was the first version of this patch.
