The devfreq core currently expects governors to call specific load
monitor functions on certain DEVFREQ_GOV_ events. Since the devfreq
core itself invokes the event handler it can as well call the
corresponding load monitor functions itself. This series refactors
the code to do this for DEVFREQ_GOV_START/STOP/SUSPEND and RESUME.

In the process it also moves some repeated code involved in starting
and stopping the governor into helper functions.


Unfortunately I could only do limited testing of this series with a 4.19
kernel and few rather inactive devfreq devices. In this sense additional
testing would be appreciated.

Thanks

Matthias

The field ->stop_polling indicates whether load monitoring should be/is
stopped, it is set in devfreq_monitor_suspend(). Change the variable to
hold the general state of load monitoring (stopped, running, suspended).
Besides improving readability of conditions involving the field and this
prepares the terrain for moving some duplicated code from the governors
into the devfreq core.

Hold the devfreq lock in devfreq_monitor_start/stop() to ensure proper
synchronization.

devfreq expects governors to call devfreq_monitor_suspend/resume()
in response to DEVFREQ_GOV_SUSPEND/RESUME events. Since the devfreq
core itself generates these events and invokes the governor's event
handler the suspend/resume of the load monitoring can be done in the
common code.

Call devfreq_monitor_suspend/resume() when the governor reports a
successful handling of DEVFREQ_GOV_SUSPEND/RESUME and remove these
calls from the simpleondemand and tegra governors. Make
devfreq_monitor_suspend/resume() static since these functions are now
only used by the devfreq core.

The following pattern is repeated multiple times:

- call governor event handler with DEVFREQ_GOV_START/STOP
- check return value
- in case of error log a message

Add devfreq_governor_start/stop() helper functions with this code
and call them instead.

calls from the simpleondemand and tegra governors. Make
devfreq_monitor_start/stop() static since these functions are now
only used by the devfreq core. For better integration with the
callers the functions must now be called with devfreq->lock held.

Also stop manipulating the monitor workqueue directly, use
devfreq_monitor_start/stop() instead.

The devfreq core generates the all events including
DEVFREQ_GOV_START/STOP/INTERVAL.
It is possible to make 'devfreq_monitor_*()' function as the static
instead of exported function.
And call them in devfreq.c as this patch as following:

Instead,

If the governor should execute some codes before and after of
DEVFREQ_GOV_SUSPEND, DEVFREQ_GOV_RESUME,
it is impossible to change the order between devfreq_monitor_*() function
and the specific governor in the event_handler callback function of
each governor.

For example, if some govenor requires the following sequencue,
after this patch, it is not possible.

case DEVFREQ_GOV_SUSPEND:
        /* execute some code before devfreq_monitor_suspend() */
        devfreq_monitor_suspend()
        /* execute some code after devfreq_monitor_suspend() */

Hi Matthias,

Looks good to me for making the function to remove the duplicate code.
But,  When I just tested the kernel build, following warnings occur
about devfreq_governor_stop().

                 from drivers/devfreq/devfreq.c:23:

Hi Matthias,

As I commented on the first patch, it is not possible to call some codes
according to the intention of each governor between 'devfreq_moniotr_*()'
and some codes which are executed before or after 'devfreq_moniotr_*()'

For example, if some governor requires the following sequence,
after this patch, it is not possible.

case DEVFREQ_GOV_xxx:
        /* execute some code before devfreq_monitor_xxx() */
        devfreq_monitor_xxx()
        /* execute some code after devfreq_monitor_xxx() */

IMHO, I'm not sure that there are any benefits changing
from 'stop_polling' to 'monitor_state'. I have no objections
if Myungjoo confirms it.

And I agree to move the initialization of work under if statement
according to the value of polling_ms variable in devfreq_monitor_start().

Hi Matthias,

When I contributed the something to devfreq.c, if the newly added functions
are internal/static, just added the function without 'devfreq_' prefix
in order to distinguish them from the exported function as following:
- find_available_min_freq()
- find_available_max_freq()
- set_freq_table()

So, the governor_start/stop are the static function used only in devfreq.c,
in order to sustain the consistency of function naming, I recommened
that changes them as following:
- devfreq_governor_start -> governor_start
- devfreq_governor_stop -> governor_stop

I agree that as an isolated change there isn't a clear benefit.
However in the context of the series the change is needed to
avoid resuming a load monitor that wasn't even started.

In case this series isn't accepted I'd still suggest to change the
name from 'stop_polling' to 'suspended'. I read 'stop_polling' as a
call for action, while 'suspended' is a state. IMO at least in some
contexts conditions using a state is clearer.

Cheers

indeed, that's similar to "[4/4] PM / devfreq: Handle monitor
start/stop in the devfreq core" of this series.

I agree that the patch introduces this limitation, however I'm not
convinced it is a problem in practice.

For suspend we'd essentially end up with:

governor_suspend
  governor->suspend

  monitor_suspend
    update_status

    stop polling

What would a governor want to do after polling is stopped? Is there
any real world or halfway reasonable hypothetical example?


And for resume:

governor_resume
  governor->resume

  monitor_resume
    start polling

Same question here, what would the governor realistically want to do
after polling has started that it couldn't have done before?

Cheers

Matthias

Hi Matthias,

I have compiled and run your changes on Odroid xu3 and v5.0-rc6.
There are kernel warnings because of mutex not held in function
devfreq_monitor_[start|stop]() in use cases:
  1) a few times during registration of new devices devfreq_add_device()
  2) poking the device from sysfs

Thanks testing!

I messed up carrying over changes from my v4.19 device kernel
to the tree used for upstreaming :(

Do you still see warnings with the below patch?

Thanks

As for the suspend/resume case I agree that the patch introduces this
limitation, but I'm not convinced that this is an actual problem.

For governor_start(): why can't the governor execute the code
before polling started, does it make any difference to the governor
that a work is scheduled?

For governor_stop(): why would the governor require polling to be
active during stop? If it needs update_devfreq() to run (called by
devfreq_monitor()) it can call it directly, instead of waiting for the
monitor to run at some later time.

Cheers

Matthias

The some governors might want to do something before starting
the work and do something after work started. I think that
the existing style is more flexible.

And,
It has one more problem when changing the governor on the fly
from simple_ondemand to other governors like performance,
powersave and so on.

Even if other governors don't need to monitor the utilization,
the work timer will be executed continually because the devfreq
device has the polling_ms value. It is not necessary
of the other governors such as performance, powersave.

It means that only specific governor like simple_ondemand
have to call the devfreq_monitor_start() by itself
instead of calling it on devfreq core.

As I knew, if the current governors are performance/powersave/
userspace, the monitoring is already stopped and not used.
Because they don't need to handle the codes related to the work
like queue_delayed_work(), cancel_delayed_work_sync().

And,
In case of the existing style for calling devfreq_monitor_*(),
other governors like performance/powersave/userspace/passice
don't need to call the devfreq_monitor_stop() because they
didn't use the work timer.

I agree to change the variable name 'stop_polling' to 'suspended'
for using the correct meaningful name.

Could you provide a practical example that answers my question above:

"why can't the governor execute the code before polling started, does
it make any difference to the governor that a work is scheduled?"

yes, I noticed that too, it can be easily fixed with a flag in the
governor.

As per above, the governor could have a flag indicating that it
doesn't need load monitoring.

I think it should be avoided to expect the governors to do the right
thing if certain actions are mandatory and common for all governors
(unless the feature in question is not used). It should be handled in
the core code, unless there are good reasons not to do this.

With thispatch set the amount of code remains essentially the same,
and no new code needs to be added for governors that don't do anything
special in start/stop/suspend/resume.

TBH I think probably the entire event handler multiplexing should go
away and be changed to a struct devfreq_ops with optional callbacks
for start, stop, suspend, resume and update interval. As far as I can
tell the multiplexing isn't needed and separate ops would result in
cleaner code, in both the devfreq core and the governors.

Cheers

Matthias

Actually, as for now, I don't know the correct practice and now.
I want to say that the existing style is more flexible for the
new governor in the future. If there are no any special benefits,
I think we don't need to harm the flexibility.

Right, If we add some codes like flag, it is easy.
Actually, it is just difference how to support them.

I think that the existing style has not any problem and is not
complicated to develop the new governor. If there are no
some benefits, IMO, we better to keep the flexibility.
It can give the flexibility to the developer of governor.

About this, I commented above. Pleas check it.

I agree to distinguish for common code and specific code depends on governor.
But, it is harm for the flexibility. We know that there are no problem
after applying this patchset. But, as I commented, I'm not sure that
it is meaningful to harm the flexibility.

If you try submitting 'flexible' code in other parts of the kernel
without users of this flexibility and no solid arguments why this
flexibility is needed it would most likely be rejected.

Unnecessary flexibility can be a burden, rather than an advantage.

There are multiple benefits, the following shortcomings of the current
approach are eliminated:

- it is error prone and allows governors to do the wrong thing, e.g.
  - start monitoring before the governor is fully ready
  - keep monitoring when the governor is partially 'stopped'
  - omit mandatory calls
- delegates tasks to the governors which are responsibility of the
  core
- code is harder to read
  - switch from common code to governor code and back
- unecessary boilerplate code in governors
- option to replace ->event_handler() with ->start(), ->stop(), etc,
  which is cleaner

I'm easily convinced if the flexibility is really needed. I'm not even
expecting a real world example, just be creative and make something
up that sounds reasonable.

start/resume()
{
	// prepare governor

	// start polling

=>	what needs to be done here that couldn't have been done
=>	before polling was started?
}

stop/suspend()
{
=>	what needs to be done here that couldn't be done after polling
=>	is stopped?

	// stop polling

	// 'unprepare' governor
}

I listed several benefits, please comment on the specific items if you
disagree, instead of just saying there are no benefits.

OTOH so far we haven't seen an even hypothetical example that shows
that the flexibility *could* be needed.

And even if such a rare case that we currently can't imagine came up,
it could be easily addressed with notifiers, a standard mechanism in
the kernel to inform drivers about events they are interested in.

As I said on previous mail, I didn't know the correct practice.

When we develop the something, I think that there are no need
to consider too much flexibility. But, if already developed code
had the more flexibility than the new refactoring code,
I think that keep the existing code if there are no any special benefits.

Also as I said, it is just refactoring without any changes or improvement
of feature. If the existing code have some bug, I will agree them without
any question.

Actually, the monitoring feature are used on only simple_ondemand
governor and tegra-devfreq.c driver. The devfreq core don't need
to consider the start/stop monitoring because each governor/driver
can handle them enough with the existing method.

IMHO, I think that it is just different way how to implement them
because the existing code doesn't have the bug.

I have no any strong objection. But, in my case, it is not easy
to like this. You better to wait the comments from devfreq maintainer.
