Hi Zhaoyang,

    @@ -576,6 +584,8 @@ static void pm_genpd_sync_poweroff(struct
    generic_pm_domain *genpd,
                 || atomic_read(&genpd->sd_count) > 0)
                     return;

    +       /* Choose the deepest state when suspending */
    +       genpd->state_idx = genpd->state_count - 1;

if there is no governor configured, does it mean that we just try the
deepest one here?


If a governor is not configured, there is no way to choose between the states, and the state_idx will not change. so it will remain the one set at the genpd init function wich is the same as here: the deepest state. (state_count -1). In other words, if there is no governor, there
is only one state: the deepest.

About setting the deepest state in this particular place, My understanding is that this code will be called in suspend path, and in this case genpd_poweroff is not called, hence the genpd governor is not called either. Because there are many other things happening during suspend/resume, i think that suspend/resume is a slow procedure that will most likely not honor the device qos constraints, so i set the genpd to its deepest state.

Regards
Axel
