Linaro's kernel tree already has an interactive governor which is provided by the Android topic branch, so isn't trying to integrate another version going to cause a lot of problems for whoever maintains the two versions and the person having to merge them?
Hi Tixy,
I believe the version of patches in my tree are going to be almost same to what is present in Android topic branch, and so shouldn't be much issues there.
If the two versions are different, then either i must update it or the other guy.
But if they aren't different why do we need your version? Thing is I not sure who the 'other guy' is who is maintaining the Android topic, it use to always be John Stultz but not sure now.
That will guarantee that all are using same and latest version of this governor.
Is 'the latest version' the one in AOSP?
Over that it would be available for ubuntu also.
But surely it is already available for Ubuntu because the Android topic branch is included in llct. E.g. if you boot a 12.11 Ubuntu image for vexpress and do
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors
you will get:
interactive ondemand performance
How do you suggest to solve these issues?
That you, Andrey and the 'the guy maintaining the Android topic' get together and work it out :-)
Of course, it could be that things go smoothly without any coordination. I just wanted to chime in and make sure that people knew that there could be issues, because these things have a nasty habit of cropping up a few days before a monthly release, when there is little time to fix and test things.
