thank you for the hint!
I found other examples that do it like this, so I'll update it.

if you have any recommendation where to put it then please let me know
(I am not familiar with the DRM subsystem at all)

my initial idea was that the devfreq logic needs the same information
that the scheduler needs (whether we're submitting something to be
executed, there was a timeout, ...).
however, looking at drivers/gpu/drm/scheduler/ this seems pretty
stand-alone so I'm not sure it should go there
also the Mali-4x0 GPUs have some "PMU" which *may* be used instead of
polling the statistics internally
so this is where I realize that with my current knowledge I don't know
enough about lima, panfrost, DRM or the devfreq subsystem to get a
good idea where to put the code.

good catch, thank you for this!
I assume the reason is that the panfrost GPUs are using a "unified"
architecture, while the ones supported by lima don't

I'll add locking so I don't run into trouble.


Thank you!

If so much code is being duplicated over, I'm wondering if it makes
sense for us to move some of the common devfreq code to core DRM
helpers?

I think it's more common to have separate copyright notices. First you
have yours, then a second paragraph stating the code is derived from
foo, and then attach the copyright statements for foo.

Re: [RFC v1 0/1] drm: lima: devfreq and cooling device support

2019-12-15 Thread Qiang Yu
Thanks for adding this.

As the license, it's up to you, I think it's OK for now.

For the code, I think you may need some lock to protect the time records as
there are two kernel threads gp/pp will try to mark GPU busy and several
interrupts try to mark GPU idle.

Regards,
Qiang
