[PATCH] cpufreq: Allow accessing freq_table for offline CPUs

[PATCH] cpufreq: Allow accessing freq_table for offline CPUs

[Viresh Kumar]

Users of freq table may want to access it for any CPU from
policy->related_cpus mask. One such user is cpu-cooling layer. It gets a
list of 'clip_cpus' (equivalent to policy->related_cpus) during
registration and tries to get freq_table for the first CPU of this mask.

If the CPU, for which it tries to fetch freq_table, is offline,
cpufreq_frequency_get_table() fails. This happens because it relies on
cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() for its functioning which returns policy only for
online CPUs.

Fix this by considering offline CPUs, but with a restriction that the
policy is active at that time.

Because we will be using 'cpufreq_cpu_data' now, which is internal to
cpufreq-core, lets also move cpufreq_frequency_get_table() to cpufreq.c
file.

This was recently tried by Pi cheng but in a completely different way:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-pm&m=143572367402758&w=2

Its not broken by any stuff in 4.2, but would be good if we can push
this for 4.2 as well.

While you are at it, you can remove this prototype of
cpufreq_cpu_get_raw(), as it's no longer needed.

[PATCH V2] cpufreq: Allow accessing freq_table for offline CPUs

[Viresh Kumar]

Users of freq table may want to access it for any CPU from
policy->related_cpus mask. One such user is cpu-cooling layer. It gets a
list of 'clip_cpus' (equivalent to policy->related_cpus) during
registration and tries to get freq_table for the first CPU of this mask.

If the CPU, for which it tries to fetch freq_table, is offline,
cpufreq_frequency_get_table() fails. This happens because it relies on
cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() for its functioning which returns policy only for
online CPUs.

Fix this by considering offline CPUs, but with a restriction that the
policy is active at that time.

Because we will be using 'cpufreq_cpu_data' now, which is internal to
cpufreq-core, lets also move cpufreq_frequency_get_table() to cpufreq.c
file.

The above sentence is completely unclear to anyone unfamiliar with the
code in question.

The fix is to access the policy data structure for the given CPU directly
(which also returns a valid policy for offline CPUs), but the policy
itself has to be active (meaning that at least one CPU using it is online)
for the frequency table to be returned.

Right?
