[PATCH RFC 0/3] hwmon: pwm-fan: Add RPM support

[PATCH RFC 0/3] hwmon: pwm-fan: Add RPM support

[Stefan Wahren]

Contrary to the gpio-fan the pwm-fan driver isn't easy to setup
with pwmconfig/fancontrol because of the missing hwmon sysfs entry
for actual revolutions per minute. This series adds this feature.

This series based on the recently submitted regulator support.

[PATCH RFC 1/3] dt-bindings: hwmon: Add tachometer interrupt to pwm-fan

[Stefan Wahren]

This adds the tachometer interrupt to the pwm-fan binding, which is
necessary for RPM support.

So a hypothetical {1,4} pulse-per-revolution fan would explicitly not be
supported ? Why ?

i could add an additional property to specify the pulse per revolution and use the 2 as default (according to the Intel spec for 4 pin pwm fan) which should fit in most cases.

That would be a possibility and make sense, but that is not
the point here.  The "interrupts" property does not and should
not care how many pulses per revolution the fan provides.

sorry, i'm not sure what's the problem about. Do you want me to use a
GPIO instead of interrupt?

Or is it the wording here?

Suggestion:

contains a single interrupt specifier which is describes the tachometer
output of the fan as an input

You wording limits the use of interrupts with pwm fans to fans with
2 pulses per revolution. You do not explain why that restriction would
be required or even make sense, or why it should be associated with
the 'interrupts' property.

Logically I assume that is because you expect an interrupt per pulse,
but that is not explained (or what the interrupt is expected to be
used for in the first place - it might, after all, be some kind of
error interrupt).

Please explain the limit. With this code, the maximum number
for pulses is INT_MAX / 2. The calculation below multiplies
that with 60, which is well above UINT_MAX. Either use a 
realistic limit or drop the if statement (it is kind of
unlikely to get that many interrupts per second).

This assumes a self resetting edge triggered interrupt ?

This is racy; the substract operation is not atomic, and neither
is the addition in the interrupt handler.

The calculation assumes that sample_timer is called exactly after one
second. Have to tested how much variation this causes on a loaded system ?

This attribute is visible even if not supported, meaning it will
report a fan speed of 0 rpm in that case. Please make the attribute
conditional.
