During testing I've created a fan based cooling device with "instance->lower" = 1 and "instance->upper" = 3. On the system the ordinary cpu_cooling device is also present. With step_wise.c it happens that at "THERMAL_TREND_DROPPING" the cur_state = 0, so the first if condition is false (line 80) and cur_state, which is defined as unsigned long, is decremented. This means that next_target equals to 0xFFFFFFFF because it also is defined as unsigned long. Such value is apparently bigger than "instance->upper" (line 85) and therefore the maximal cooling state is chosen. As a result, even when the thermal trend is dropping, the cooling device increase the cooling state to maximum. This behavior has been discovered during my work on adapting exynos thermal driver to reuse the of-thermal. I will send patches for this work after the weekend. > > > > Signed-off-by: Lukasz Majewski <l.majewski@samsung.com> > > --- > > drivers/thermal/step_wise.c | 2 +- > > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > > > diff --git a/drivers/thermal/step_wise.c > > b/drivers/thermal/step_wise.c index 3b54c2c..fdd1f52 100644 > > --- a/drivers/thermal/step_wise.c > > +++ b/drivers/thermal/step_wise.c > > @@ -77,7 +77,7 @@ static unsigned long get_target_state(struct > > thermal_instance *instance, next_target = instance->upper; > > break; > > case THERMAL_TREND_DROPPING: > > - if (cur_state == instance->lower) { > > + if (cur_state <= instance->lower) { > > if (!throttle) > > next_target = THERMAL_NO_TARGET; > > } else { > > -- > > 2.0.0.rc2 > > > > > Eduardo

It turns out that some boards can have instance->lower greater than 0 and when thermal trend is dropping it results with next_target equal to -1. Since the next_target is defined as unsigned long it is interpreted as 0xFFFFFFFF and larger than instance->upper. As a result the next_target is set to instance->upper which ramps up to maximal cooling device target when the temperature is steadily decreasing.
