* Arun R Bharadwaj <a...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-09-22 16:55:27]: Hi Len, (or other acpi folks),
I had a question regarding ACPI-cpuidle interaction in the current implementation. Currently, every cpu (i.e. acpi_processor) registers to cpuidle as a cpuidle_device. So every cpu has to go through the process of setting up the idle states and then registering as a cpuidle device. What exactly is the reason behind this? Is this really necessary or can we have a system-wide one-time registering to cpuidle by ACPI? I'm currently in the process of enabling cpuidle for POWER systems and find that having a system-wide registering mechanism to be a cleaner design. --arun _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
