From 9c4b2867ed7c8c8784dd417ffd16e705e81eb145 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2016 23:24:22 +0100 Subject: cpuidle: menu: Fix menu_select() for CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START == 0 Commit a9ceb78bc75c (cpuidle,menu: use interactivity_req to disable polling) exposed a bug in menu_select() causing it to return -1 on systems with CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START equal to zero, although it should have returned 0. As a result, idle states are not entered by CPUs on those systems. Namely, on the systems in question data->last_state_idx is initially equal to -1 and the above commit modified the condition that would have caused it to be changed to 0 to be less likely to trigger which exposed the problem. However, setting data->last_state_idx initially to -1 doesn't make sense at all and on the affected systems it should always be set to CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START (ie. 0) unconditionally, so make that happen.

There is little point in additionally selecting the other one as it will not be used, so don't select both governors by default. Being able to select more than one governor is still good for developers booting with cpuidle_sysfs_switch, though. This fixes the second half of kernel BZ #65531.

Wysocki" Date: Sat, 16 Jan 2016 00:54:53 +0100 Subject: sched / idle: Drop default_idle_call() fallback from call_cpuidle() After commit 9c4b2867ed7c (cpuidle: menu: Fix menu_select() for CPUIDLE_DRIVER_STATE_START == 0) it is clear that menu_select() cannot return negative values. Moreover, ladder_select_state() will never return a negative value too, so make find_deepest_state() return non-negative values too and drop the default_idle_call() fallback from call_cpuidle(). This eliminates one branch from the idle loop and makes the governors and find_deepest_state() handle the case when all states have been disabled from sysfs consistently. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

This means that it is pointless to look at the states whose indices are less than or equal to data->last_state_idx in the main loop, so don't do that.
