Subject: [PATCH 1/4] cpufreq: stats: handle cpufreq_unregister_driver() and suspend/resume properly
There are several problems cpufreq stats in the way it handles
cpufreq_unregister_driver() and suspend/resume..
- We must not loose data collected so far when suspend/resume happens and so
stats directories must not be removed/allocated during these operations, Which
is done currently.
- cpufreq_stat has registered notifiers with both cpufreq and hotplug. It adds
sysfs stats directory with a cpufreq notifier: CPUFREQ_NOTIFY and removes this
directory with a notifier from hotplug core.
In case cpufreq_unregister_driver() is called (on rmmod cpufreq driver), stats
directories per cpu aren't removed as CPUs are still online. The only call
cpufreq_stats gets is cpufreq_stats_update_policy_cpu for all CPUs except the
last of each policy. And pointer to stat information is stored in the entry
for last cpu in per-cpu cpufreq_stats_table. But policy structure would be
freed inside cpufreq core and so that will result in memory leak inside
cpufreq stats (as we are never freeing memory for stats).
Now if we again insert the module cpufreq_register_driver() will be called and
we will again allocate stats data and put it on for first cpu of every policy.
In case we only have a single cpu per policy we will return with a error from
cpufreq_stats_create_table() due to below code:
if (per_cpu(cpufreq_stats_table, cpu))
return -EBUSY;
And so probably cpufreq stats directory would show up anymore (as it was added
inside last policies->kobj which doesn't exist anymore). I haven't tested it
though. Also the values in stats files wouldn't be refreshed as we are using
the earlier stats structure.
- CPUFREQ_NOTIFY is called from cpufreq_set_policy() which is called for
scenarios where we don't really want cpufreq_stat_notifier_policy() to get
called. For example whenever we are changing anything related to a policy:
min/max/current freq, etc.. cpufreq_set_policy() is called and so cpufreq
stats is notified. Where we don't do any useful stuff other than simply
returning with -EBUSY from cpufreq_stats_create_table(). And so this isn't the
right notifier that cpufreq stats..
Due to all above reasons this patch does following changes:
- Add new notifiers CPUFREQ_CREATE_POLICY and CPUFREQ_REMOVE_POLICY, which are
only called when policy is created/destroyed. They aren't called for
suspend/resume paths..
- Use these notifiers in cpufreq_stat_notifier_policy() to create/destory stats
sysfs entries. And so cpufreq_unregister_driver() or suspend/resume shouldn't
be a problem for cpufreq_stats.
- Return early from cpufreq_stat_cpu_callback() for suspend/resume sequence, so
that we don't free stats structure.
