Hi Sibi, In my opinion this solution depends on not always true assumption that CPUFreq notification chain will be triggered when there is a frequency switch. Extending devfreq governor (as in one of the dependent patch series that you have referred) by attaching to this notification chain makes sense only when the SchedUtil and fast_switch is not in use. The Schedutil CPUFreq governor might use the fast_switch from this driver and the notifications will not be triggered. I have also commented patch 08/10 which tries to disable it.

Thank you Sibi for clarifying this. I spotted in patch 08/10 that the fast_switch is removed and the normal path is in use, which also triggers the notification chain in CPUFreq. Then maybe other machinery which you have put in your 'depends on' list accidentally works thanks to this. > > [1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/11055499/ > >> switch.

True, SchedUtil would work in slow_path. The driver and SoC support 'fast_switch', your solution when is properly initialized, disables it. I would suggest to put this information in the commit message. I don't know the side effects on the performance, though. The other side effect would be: the CPUFreq notifications will be triggered. The fast_switch is now the preferred way, any new ideas should consider also this path. > >> The Schedutil CPUFreq governor might use the fast_switch from this >> driver and the notifications will not be triggered.

I looked at a few links posted in the cover letter as dependencies and it seems like the discussions are pending for *months* and not weeks but I might have looked at the wrong ones.

Viresh, Saravana's example does show a device with multiple opp tables but doesn't need multiple opp table support to land though (since it works fine with the current implementation). I am more interested in understanding your/ Stephen's/Saravana's stance on adding multiple opp-table support. Personally I feel its inevitable, since multiple qc drivers using interconnect opp-tables, routinely need vote on multiple paths in a non-trivial manner. > > Could you please post a link to the discussion that you are referring > to here? > I looked at a few links posted in the cover letter as dependencies and > it seems > like the discussions are pending for *months* and not weeks but I > might have looked > at the wrong ones. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200114103448.odnvqawnqb3twst5@vireshk-i7/ Rajendra, Viresh is referring to ^^ one

The OPP core doesn't support multiple OPP tables for a device and I don't understand how it will.

And so I have been waiting for a reply. I thought this series indeed is proposing to add that support in OPP core? a.k.a "[RFC v3 06/10] opp: Allow multiple opp_tables to be mapped to a single device" > >>> >>> Could you please post a link to the discussion that you are referring to >>> here? >>> I looked at a few links posted in the cover letter as dependencies and >>> it seems >>> like the discussions are pending for *months* and not weeks but I >>> might have looked >>> at the wrong ones. >> >> https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200114103448.odnvqawnqb3twst5@vireshk-i7/ >> >> Rajendra, >> Viresh is referring to ^^ one > > Right, thanks. These discussions are stalled for over 2 months now waiting on a response from Saravana. Viresh, whats the way forward here and how long do we plan on waiting for Saravanas response?

And so I have been waiting for a reply. This series tries to add minimal support for multiple opp-tables per device and can be tested on db845c/sdm845mtp/sc7180. Debugfs still needs to be fixed though and fixing it did feel non-trivial (I can get to it if we reach a consensus). Perhaps we can fork out icc oppp-tables from regular opp-tables and allow only multiple instances of icc opp-tables per device(though Rob didn't like the bindings associated with it) that way all the current users wont be affected but from what I've tested the series shouldn't cause any regression. > >> > >> > Could you please post a link to the discussion that you are referring to >> > here? >> > I looked at a few links posted in the cover letter as dependencies and >> > it seems >> > like the discussions are pending for *months* and not weeks but I >> > might have looked >> > at the wrong ones. >> >> https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200114103448.odnvqawnqb3twst5@vireshk-i7/ >> >> Rajendra, >> Viresh is referring to ^^ one > > Right, thanks.

I agree and I am equally worried about it. So lets clear the air a bit first. Can someone answer following : - This series depends on the series from Saravana ? Right, so that needs to get merged/accepted first ? - If yes, then what is the way forward as Saravana isn't responding right now ..

Its fine if you are not happy with the approach taken here and you can propose something else, but it looks inevitable that we would need something like this to be supported (multiple OPP tables per device) and hence the request to review the patches.

I understand the frustration you have right now, but honestly most of the delay is not from my part. I normally try to be very quick in giving reviews or even accepting material for next cycle. Still, I am part of the chain which has blocked this series and I am really sorry for that. Coming back to reviews. I never liked the idea of keeping separate OPP tables just for the relation that a peripheral share with the interconnect, i.e. the b/w tables getting discussed right now. And I am not at all sure if such tables should be added as device tables anyway, it was present in cover letter of Saravana for sometime but not in the real patches and so I missed it until the time Sibi asked me something on IRC. To be clear, I don't think we will allow multiple active OPP tables for a device for now, unless we have a very good reason to do that. It just doesn't make sense to me to have one table for keeping frequency/voltage thing, and another set of tables for b/w requirements from interconnect. So, the changes proposed by this patchset even doesn't matter as I am not agreeing on the binding itself. And we need a binding change for that, which Saravana never sent, i.e. to have multiple active tables for a device. Yes, we need a solution for this and a quick one. I am fine to discuss this all on a hangout session (anyway, everyone is working from home now anyways) anytime next week with the interested parties. I think /me and Vincent can join it.
