Good point! I certainly overlooked that when reviewing. We need to reevaluate the new state when propagating to the parent(s). To me, it looks like when doing the propagation we must check if the parent has the ->set_performance_state() callback assigned. If so, we should call dev_pm_opp_xlate_performance_state(), but otherwise just use the value of "state", when doing the reevaluation.

That will work but I am wondering if there is a way to avoid the unnecessary propagation if we can somehow find out if someone above in hierarchy supports pstates or not ?

You seem to be worried about latency/overhead while doing the propagation upwards in the hierarchy. That seems like a reasonable concern to me, especially as the genpd lock is taken at each level. However, to mitigate this can be rather messy. In principle, we would need to walk the hierarchy upwards, each time a new subdomain is added in genpd_add_subdomain(). While doing this, we would also need to keep track on what level we set to continue the propagation of the performance states for. Even if this can be done in non-latency sensitive paths, I don't think it's worth it because of complexity (I haven't even thought of what happens when removing a subdomain). So, maybe we should simply just stick to the existing code, forcing the parent to have a ->set_performance() callback assigned if propagation should continue? Kind regards Uffe

I played a tad with the power domains by creating a couple dummy domains and putting them into a parent->child chain. Yours suggestion works well for the case where intermediate domain doesn't implement the set_performance_state() callback, i.e. the performance state is propagated through the whole chain instead of stopping on the domain that doesn't implement the callback. I'll make a v4, thanks.

What about a new field in the domain structure like 'can-handle-pstates', and then whenever sub-domain gets added it just needs to check its parent's field and set his own. > So, maybe we should simply just stick to the existing code, forcing > the parent to have a ->set_performance() callback assigned if > propagation should continue? I think it would be better to fix the issue even if we aren't fully optimized and making the change to make sure we keep propagating is rather important.

It depends on the SoC topology, so obviously it differs. But more than a couple is unusual, I would say. However, I think it may also depend on how many devices that are hooked up to the domains and how actively these are being used. > > > However, to mitigate this can be rather messy.

That would work if the topology is built from top to bottom, but I don't think we can rely on that. For example, when a domain A is added as a child to domain B, domain B doesn't have a parent yet (and the "can-handle-pstates" don't get set for neither domain A or domain B). Next, domain B is added as child domain to domain C. Domain C has the "can-handle-pstates" set, which means domain B gets the "can-handle-pstates" set as well. This means domain A, will not have "can-handle-pstates" set, while it probably should have. > > > So, maybe we should simply just stick to the existing code, forcing > > the parent to have a ->set_performance() callback assigned if > > propagation should continue? > > I think it would be better to fix the issue even if we aren't fully optimized > and making the change to make sure we keep propagating is rather important. Alright, let's continue with Dmitry's patches and discuss this further when v4 is out, as he seems to have it almost ready. Kind regards Uffe
