For example, for sensor protocol which delivers event SENSOR_TRIP_POINT_EVENT indicating a trip point was crossed. Would it be possible for: drivers/hwmon/scmi-hwmon.c to get this temperature events like an interrupt? I couldn't find it in the implementation of the registered handlers. Regards, Lukasz

Sure. I tested registering various callbacks against PERF events (since they're what I have available on my platform implementation); I used probe() in scmi-genpd and scmi-cpufreq to register generic testing callbacks like: scmi_cpufrq_probe() ... src_id = 0x00; handle->notify_ops->register_event_notifier(handle, SCMI_PROTOCOL_PERF, 0x1, &src_id, &my_cpufreq_nb); and removing similarly in remove(). I'll send you my debug patches that includes genpd/cpufreq callbacks registration and an additional dummy driver that just registers perf callbacks so you can have a better idea of the intended usage. > For example, for sensor protocol which delivers event > SENSOR_TRIP_POINT_EVENT indicating a trip point was crossed. > Regarding sensors it could be something like: sensor_id = 0x00; handle->notify_ops->register_event_notifier(handle, SCMI_PROTOCOL_SENSOR, 0x0, &sensor_id, &my_sensor_nb); handle->sensor_ops->trip_point_config(handle, sensor_id, 0, 10000); Note that the notification core takes care on its own of enabling the specific events generation when you register the first callback for a specific event as identified by (proto_id, event_id, src_id) but in the case of the sensor protocol you'll need to explicitly setup the trip_point too. As a result when the trip point is crossed you'll receive in your callback a sensor_report (as in include/linux/scmi_protocol.h) as your data arg. I just realized that being the notification enable method (trip_notify) also exposed by the ops directly, I should probably add some sort of alert for a user...since it is not meant to be used directly when the notification subsystem is being used....I'll think about this pitfall. > Would it be possible for: > drivers/hwmon/scmi-hwmon.c > to get this temperature events like an interrupt? > Sorry I did not get what you mean here.
