This function is used to update the cooling state of
all the cooling devices that are binded to an active trip point.

This will be used for passive cooling as well, in the future patches.
as both active and passive cooling can share the same algorithm,
which is

1. if the temperature is higher than a trip point,
   a. if the trend is THERMAL_TREND_RAISING, use higher cooling
      state for this trip point
   b. if the trend is THERMAL_TREND_DROPPING, use lower cooling
      state for this trip point

2. if the temperature is lower than a trip point, use lower
   cooling state for this trip point.

Please move that into thermal_zone_trip_update() directly, unless you
need it elsewhere.

IMO, I can say that ACPI thermal wants aggressive active cooling, as it
will never spin down the fan when the temperature is higher than the
trip point.

But I'm not sure if this is true for other platforms.
say if a fan have 5 speeds.
it may want to run at the maximum speed when the temperature is raising,
but if the temperature begins to drop, it may want to spin down the fan
a little for some reason, say, power, noise, etc.

so I want the platform thermal drivers to have the maximum flexibility.

thanks,
rui

hmm, why?
in the current cooling algorithm, when the temperature is lower than the
trip point, the cooling state is decreased by 1 every time,
unconditionally, isn't this what you want?

Hi Rui,

Your patches looks useful.
For my platform I need to have get_trend called even in the case when
current temp is less than the trip point and then use
THERMAL_TREND_DROPPING to actually lower the cooling state.

Thanks,
Amit

Basically the requirement is that I do not want to remove the cooling
device when the temp just reaches below the trip point because this
causes many throttling in this trip point so say I will remove cooling
device when the temp is < (trip - 5) which can be done inside the new
platform get_trend call.

I meant the code organization, not the functionality. :-)

Since thermal_get_trend() is static, it is not used outside of this file,
so you can move the "if (type == THERMAL_TRIP_ACTIVE)" conditional from it
directly into the caller (unless there are more callers, which I'm not sure
about without reading the whole code again).

That would make the code cleaner, because right now the condition is
hidden in thermal_get_trend() and it may not be clear to the reader of
thermal_zone_trip_update() that it is actually checked.

Thanks,
Rafael

sorry I still do not get it.
the generic thermal layer is the caller of this callback.
so you mean in thermal_zone_trip_update(),
when updating an active trip point, we set the trend to
THERMAL_TREND_RAISING explicitly?
in this way, all the platform thermal drivers will spin up the fan step
by step when the temperature is higher than the trip point, even if the
temperature is dropping. (Note that, this is not a problem for ACPI, as
there is only two state for ACPI FAN, on/off, it must be always on when
the temperature is higher than the active trip point. but other platform
may want to spin down the fan a little even if the system is still warm)

why?
Readers should trust the value returned by
drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c:thermal_get_trend().
And platform thermal drivers should provide the proper trend for active
trip points as well. If they don't, we will use the default trend by
comparing the current temperature and last temperature.

I'm not talking about the callback, but of the static function with the
same name you've introduced into drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c in the
previous patch. :-)

The only caller of this function seems to be thermal_zone_device_passive()
and my point is that it would be better to simply put the code from that
function into thermal_zone_device_passive() directly, unless there are
more callers added by the subsequent patches, which I'm not sure about.

hah, I understand.
yes, I can move thermal_sys.c thermal_get_trend() in to
thermal_trip_update.
and there will be no such confusion (two functions share the same name)
any more. :)

As Durga is working on the thermal governor patches, I think that one
can handle this, right?

Currently, as I do not want to change the behavior of the current
drivers, ACPI passive cooling, etc, I did not use trend when the
temperature is lower  than the trip point.
But anyway, if really needed, I can generate an incremental patch.
what do you think?

I am fine with this..Since we anyway want all throttling logic to be moved to
the governor, I think it makes sense to put this there.

So, I will pick it up, when I submit the governor patches.
Amit, Please feel free to point out if I don’t pick this one in my patches.

Thanks,
Durga
