From d08de0c19c3fc5b9cf557ce3b42795d036ad5da9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Afzal Mohammed Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2012 10:52:46 +0530 Subject: [CPUFREQ] update lpj only if frequency has changed During scaling up of cpu frequency, loops_per_jiffy is updated upon invoking PRECHANGE notifier. If setting to new frequency fails in cpufreq driver, lpj is left at incorrect value. Hence update lpj only if cpu frequency is changed, i.e. upon invoking POSTCHANGE notifier. Penalty would be that during time period between changing cpu frequency & invocation of POSTCHANGE notifier, udelay(x) may not gurantee minimal delay of 'x' us for frequency scaling up operation. Perhaps a better solution would be to define CPUFREQ_ABORTCHANGE & handle accordingly, but then it would be more intrusive (using ABORTCHANGE may help drivers also; if any has registered notifier and expect POST for a PRECHANGE, their needs can be taken care using ABORT) Signed-off-by: Afzal Mohammed Signed-off-by: Dave Jones --- drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/cpufreq') diff --git a/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c b/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c index 987a165ede2..2f5801adc73 100644 --- a/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c +++ b/drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c @@ -204,8 +204,7 @@ static void adjust_jiffies(unsigned long val, struct cpufreq_freqs *ci) pr_debug("saving %lu as reference value for loops_per_jiffy; " "freq is %u kHz\n", l_p_j_ref, l_p_j_ref_freq); } - if ((val == CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE && ci->old < ci->new) || - (val == CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE && ci->old > ci->new) || + if ((val == CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE && ci->old != ci->new) || (val == CPUFREQ_RESUMECHANGE || val == CPUFREQ_SUSPENDCHANGE)) { loops_per_jiffy = cpufreq_scale(l_p_j_ref, l_p_j_ref_freq, ci->new); -- cgit v1.2.3
