Also you want when a trip is violated. For some driver there will be too many calls from irq thread, so you may want in handle_thermal_trip when a trip is violated.

Agreed, when the first trip point is violated it would result in two notifications. But this change was also supposed to address the cooling cur state change that results from governor throttling after a trip point is violated. I realize this intent was not communicated well in the commit message, Patch V2 will fix it. > Also you want when a trip is violated.

Agreed, Patch V2 will do the notify only once per thermal zone and only when there is a trip violation. > > Thanks, > Srinivas >> } >> EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(thermal_zone_device_update); >> >> @@ -1638,6 +1640,7 @@ void thermal_cdev_update(struct >> thermal_cooling_device *cdev) >> cdev->updated = true; >> trace_cdev_update(cdev, target); >> dev_dbg(&cdev->device, "set to state %lu\n", target); >> + sysfs_notify(&cdev->device.kobj, NULL, "cur_state"); >> } >> EXPORT_SYMBOL(thermal_cdev_update); >> Thanks for your inputs Srinivas, please take a look at Patch V2 that addresses your comments.

Add a sysfs_notify on thermal_zone*/temp and cooling_device*/ cur_state whenever a passive or critical trip is triggered. This change allows usermode apps to register itself to get notified, when certain thermal conditions occur and reduce their workload. This workload throttling can reduce\prevent throttling of hardware clocks while allowing some other critical apps to run longer reliably.
