Ah, ok. Thanks for reviewing the patch.
Can we find a solution to have a single entry point to sumbit patches for all the cpuidle drivers ?
Otherwise, consolidating them is a pain: a patch for the samsung tree, another one for the at91 tree, etc ... and wait for all the trees to sync before continuing to consolidate the code.
Wouldn't be worth to move these drivers under the PM umbrella instead of the SoC specific code ?
Any idea to simplify the cpuidle consolidation and maintenance ?

Fisrtly patches get posted to right mailing list based on where the code resides. So one must keep a watch on LAKML for the patches.
Talking specific to OMAP idle code, there is plan to move to drivers/idle/* but for that to happen there are some PRM/CM dependency for which also driver movement is planned. Once that happen, OMAP idle will find its way in drivers/idle/*

Yes, I agree.
The main issue is the multiple tree for the different drivers making hard to track, modify and improve the drivers in one shot.
It is not the first time, a modification of the cpuidle framework implied to modify all the drivers.
When Rob introduced the first code consolidation, that took months to add a simple flag in the drivers because we had to wait for the merge before the changes in drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle.c were visible.
Talking specific to OMAP idle code, there is plan to move to drivers/idle/* but for that to happen there are some PRM/CM dependency for which also driver movement is planned. Once that happen, OMAP idle will find its way in drivers/idle/*
That would be *really* great. If we can do that for all the drivers, that will solve the multi-location / multi-tree problem.
The u8500 driver will be moved soon to this directory also.
I did some modifications around the at91 some months ago to encapsulate the code more, maybe it could be also a good candidate. Nicolas ?
For OMAP3 that could be a bit more difficult. Who is maintaining the driver now ?
I Cc'ed the different maintainers for the other boards, may be they can react ?

The driver is still maintained by Kevin Hilman and quite a few us keep that driver upto date. OMAP3 idle is movable as well. A while back I have assessed move of OMAP3 and OMAP4 idle drivers, and the only issue was the other PRM/CM dependency.

Adding Arnd and Olof to this discussion since atleast the ARM drivers go through their arm-soc tree.
Given the work you're putting in to consolidate the drivers, perhaps they can insist that idle drivers get acked by you?

Not to create controversy but as a general rule there is nothing like *insisting* ack on patches for merge apart from the official maintainers(gate keepers).
Having said that, its always good to get more reviews and acks so that better code gets merged.
This just my personal opinion.

I'm not asking for special treatment here. :) I'm requesting one set of maintainers (arm-soc maintainers) to push back on changes that don't get platform idle drivers in sync with the consolidation work that is currently ongoing.
This will speed up the process since it is hard to track every SoC-specific list for these changes. Some platform maintainers might not even be aware of it (those that Daniel hasn't modified yet). A similar approach seems to have worked for common clock, DT, pinmux, etc.

Ah, ok. Thanks for reviewing the patch.
Can we find a solution to have a single entry point to sumbit patches for all the cpuidle drivers ?
Otherwise, consolidating them is a pain: a patch for the samsung tree, another one for the at91 tree, etc ... and wait for all the trees to sync before continuing to consolidate the code.
Wouldn't be worth to move these drivers under the PM umbrella instead of the SoC specific code ?
Any idea to simplify the cpuidle consolidation and maintenance ?
Adding Arnd and Olof to this discussion since atleast the ARM drivers go through their arm-soc tree.
Given the work you're putting in to consolidate the drivers, perhaps they can insist that idle drivers get acked by you?
Not to create controversy but as a general rule there is nothing like *insisting* ack on patches for merge apart from the official maintainers(gate keepers).
Having said that, its always good to get more reviews and acks so that better code gets merged.
This just my personal opinion.
I'm not asking for special treatment here. :) I'm requesting one set of maintainers (arm-soc maintainers) to push back on changes that don't get platform idle drivers in sync with the consolidation work that is currently ongoing.
This will speed up the process since it is hard to track every SoC-specific list for these changes. Some platform maintainers might not even be aware of it (those that Daniel hasn't modified yet). A similar approach seems to have worked for common clock, DT, pinmux, etc.
Every patch gets pulled into arm-soc/arm-core has to be posted on LAKML. So as long as everybody follows that rule, there is no need to track every SoC lists. And what I have seen so far every this rule has been followed well.

(Added Benjamin, Deepthi and Paul)
I don't think everybody is following this rule, patches go to the SoC maintainer's tree without sometimes going through lakml.
Furthermore, there is not only ARM, there is also acpi_idle, intel_idle, pseries_idle and sh_idle, respectively located in:
drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c drivers/acpi/processor_driver.c drivers/idle/intel_idle.c
These ones above are under linux-pm, that is Rafael, like cpuidle, even if it is not marked in the MAINTAINERS file, so that should be ok.
And there is also:
arch/sh/kernel/cpu/shmobile/cpuidle.c arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/processor_idle.c
And hopefully, some others in the right place, calxeda_idle and kirwood_idle located in drivers/cpuidle.
In the maintainer file, there is no information about cpuidle at all.
For example, if someone modify the cpuidle framework allowing to consolidate the code across the different drivers, we have to wait for the merge before using the new api into the different drivers. If we follow strictly the path of the merge tree we fall into a scenario where consolidating the drivers takes a loooooong time.
From my POV, *all* the cpuidle drivers must go under drivers/cpuidle,
like cpufreq and pass through a single entry point to apply the patches, so the cpuidle framework and the drivers are always synced.
If everyone agree and we reach this consensus, then we can work to move these drivers to a single place.
I think Amit was suggesting to Cc me in the meantime, so while we are moving these drivers to this place, I can help to ensure we go to the same direction.
For example, Arnd Cc'ed me about the zynq cpuidle driver when it has been posted and, after review, it appeared it was totally obsolete wrt the modifications we did this year.

This is why an important work of separating the PM code from the cpuidle driver must be done in order to achieve this migration. Some of this has been done for the at91 and u8500 driver.

Not really no. We already have that here or there in other drivers, it's not necessarily messy and the stuff like that can generally be made reasonably self contained.
The main issue is that if I (powerpc) wants a fix in my some_ppc_box_idle.c driver, especially if it needs to sync with other arch changes, having to sync/ack with Rafael might complicate things a bit (though not necessarily a lot).
I would probably keep the liberty of sending to Linus directly urgent bug/regression fixes to individual cpuidle drivers relating to our archs without waiting every now and then if for example Rafael is on vacation :-)
Also instances where the changes are specifically tied only to the architecture of the back-end driver (SoC specific), it is absolutely necessary to get SoC maintainer's review.

Merging them all over sounds like a good idea to me as well.
This isn't too different from how we handle other subsystems; as architecutre maintainer you just use your judgement on what needs an ack vs cc. Some smaller details about how the backend of the driver works on a platform is quite different from refactoring portions of the framework.
