Commit Message

Chanwoo Choi Oct. 7, 2020, 5:07 a.m. UTC
DEVFREQ supports the default governors like performance, simple_ondemand and
also allows the devfreq driver to add their own governor like tegra30-devfreq.c
according to their requirement. In result, some sysfs attributes are useful
or not useful. Prior to that the user can access all sysfs attributes
regardless of the available attributes.

So, clarify the access permission of sysfs attributes according to governor.
When adding the devfreq governor, can specify the available attribute
information by using DEVFREQ_GOV_ATTR_* constant variable. The user can
read or write the sysfs attributes in accordance to the specified attributes.

When adding the governor, can add the following attributes
according to the governor feature.

[Definition for speific sysfs attributes]
- DEVFREQ_GOV_ATTR_POLLING_INTERVAL to update polling interval for timer.
  : /sys/class/devfreq/[devfreq dev name]/polling_interval
- DEVFREQ_GOV_ATTR_TIMER to change the type of timer on either deferrable
  or dealyed timer.
  : /sys/class/devfreq/[devfreq dev name]/timer

And all devfreq governors have to support the following common attributes.
The common attributes are added to devfreq class by default.
- governor
- available_governors
- available_frequencies
- cur_freq
- target_freq
- min_freq
- max_freq
- trans_stat

Hello, Chanwoo!

Could you please explain the reason of changing the doc? It looks like
you only added the lists of governors, but is it a really useful change?
Are you going to keep these lists up-to-date?

The further code may revert df->governor to the prev_governor or set it
to NULL. The create_sysfs_files(df->governor) should be invoked at the
very end of the governor_store() and only in a case of success.

I think that is is useful. Because user cannot know why specific sysfs node
(like 'timer') is absence according to governor. So, in order to remove
the user confusion, better to add the information to documentation.

prev_governor is better. I'll change it.

OK. I'll add more exception handling code.

Also, when creating and removing the sysfs files, devfreq instance is needed
because of df->dev.kobj. So, *_sysfs_files need the two parameters.
