Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:36:06 -0700 From: dirk.brandewie@...il.com To: linux-pm@...r.kernel.org Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, rjw@...ysocki.net, patrick.marlier@...il.com, dirk.brandewie@...il.com, Dirk Brandewie <dirk.j.brandewie@...el.com> Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Add exit_prepare callback to the cpufreq_driver interface. From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.j.brandewie@...el.com> Some drivers (intel_pstate) need to modify state on a core before it is completely offline. The ->exit() callback is executed during the CPU_POST_DEAD phase of the cpu offline process which is too late to change the state of the core. Patch 1 adds an optional callback function to the cpufreq_driver interface which is called by the core during the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE phase of cpu offline in __cpufreq_remove_dev_prepare(). Patch 2 changes intel_pstate to use the ->exit_prepare callback to do its cleanup during cpu offline.
