From: Lina Iyer <ilina@codeaurora.org>

Allow the controller status be queried. The controller is busy if it is
actively processing request. Also allow the controller state be read by
platform drivers. This is useful for PM drivers which can choose to
disallow idle modes when the controller is busy.

This API seems inherently racy. How do we know that nothing else is
going to be inserted into the TCS after this function returns true? Do
you have a user of this API? It would be good to know how it is used
instead of adding some code that never gets called.

This API is called from the last CPU that is powering down in an
interrupt locked context (say during suspend). If we are waiting on a
request, we would bail out of the suspend process. There can be no issue
requested during the last step in suspend. The PM driver itself does not
make any TCS request. Currently, this API is used by the downstream code
in its last man activities. The usage by platform coordinated mode is
still under discussion.

By the way, this says AMCs are busy and then TCSes are engaged. Which
one is it?

Ok, can you explain why it's even a problem for the TCSes to be active
during suspend? I would hope that for suspend/resume, if this is
actually a problem, the RPMh driver itself can block suspend with a
driver suspend callback that checks for idleness. But I suspect that in
the system wide suspend/resume case, any callers that could make TCS
requests are child devices of the RPMh controller and therefore they
would already be suspended if they didn't have anything pending they're
waiting for a response on or they would be blocking suspend themselves
if they're waiting for the response. So why are we even checking the
TCSes in system suspend path at all? Assume that callers know what
they're doing and will block suspend if they care?

Following that same logic, is this more of an API that is planned for
use by CPU idle? Where the case is much more of a runtime PM design.
Even then, I don't get it. A device that's runtime active and making
RPMh requests might need to block some forms of CPU idle states because
a request hasn't been processed yet that may change the decision for
certain deep idle states?

The RSC can transmit TCS executed from Linux and when all the CPUs have
powered down, could execute a firmware in the RSC to deliver the sleep
state requests. The firmware cannot run when there are active requests
being processed. To ensure that case, we bail out of sleep or suspend,
when the last CPU is powering down, if there are active requests.

In suspend, they probably would do what you mention above. All CPUs
might conincidentally be idle at the same idle, when a request is being
processed.

A process waiting on a RPMH request, may let the CPU go to sleep and
therefore this is a possibility.

Ok, do we actually bail out or just pick a shallower idle state that
wouldn't trigger the firmware to run something that may conflict with
the active requests (i.e. some light CPU sleep mode)? The commit text
seems to imply we block certain idle states.

Ok thanks for the info. Can these details be included in the commit text
so we don't lose sight of the bigger picture? And can this patch series
be combined with a larger cpuidle/suspend patch series so we don't have
to review this in isolation? I don't understand the need to add more
APIs that aren't used yet.

We bail out of idle and let cpuidle determine the state again. We don't
go into a shallower state.
