Longhaul - infrastructure(?) proposal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In case that flushing and disabling caches will not work.
(but it is possible that I do above in wrong way).
Would this code below be acceptable as infrastructure?
Is this infrastructure or maybe hack? Are there any HOWTO 
write correct infrastructure?
This is draft/proposal.
Can I continue in this way or I shouldn't?

This code (more correct version) will be included in 
longhaul.c. There should be include file "cpufreq_longhaul.h"
for drivers knowing about "longhaul problem".

Driver would have all code for longhaul in
"#ifdef CONFIG_X86_LONGHAUL / #else / #endif".

Basic support for longhaul in driver:
1. driver calls longhaul_bmdma_register("driver_name_wq")
   at init,
2. driver calls longhaul_bmdma_begin before starting BMDMA
   with function that is starting DMA for this driver
   (or in case of via-rhine driver with function which queues
   packet in hardware queue). You can do it multiple times 
   before calling longhaul_bmdma_end for the first time,
3. driver calls longhaul_bmdma_end after BMDMA transfer is 
   completed (via-rhine - after packet was send).

Longhaul would simply lock write longhaul_sem before 
CPU frequency change.
 
Sorry to bother You all again.
