The cpu-dma PM QoS constraint impacts all the cpus in the system. There
is no way to let the user to choose a PM QoS constraint per cpu.

The following patch exposes to the userspace a per cpu based sysfs file
in order to let the userspace to change the value of the PM QoS latency
constraint.

This change is inoperative in its form and the cpuidle governors have to
take into account the per cpu latency constraint in addition to the
global cpu-dma latency constraint in order to operate properly.

BTW
The pm_qos_resume_latency usage defined in
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-power
The /sys/devices/.../power/pm_qos_resume_latency_us attribute
contains the PM QoS resume latency limit for the given device,
which is the maximum allowed time it can take to resume the
device, after it has been suspended at run time, from a resume
request to the moment the device will be ready to process I/O,
in microseconds.  If it is equal to 0, however, this means that
the PM QoS resume latency may be arbitrary.

Hi,

Is there any concern on this patch?

Regards
Alex

Why is this a debug message?  And you have a struct device, why not use
it?

Also, what userspace changes does this require, or affect?  Any new
sysfs files?

thanks,

Looks no one care about the dev_pm_qos_expose_latency_limit's return
value, so this debug message like gilding the lily. will remove it.

User can set values on each of cpu, like limit 100ms on cpu0, that means
the cpu0 response time should be in 100ms in possible idle. It similar
with DMA_LATENCY, but that request is for all cpu. This is just for
particular cpu, like a interrupt pined CPU.

Sorry for typo!
