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 Greg,

Thanks for comments!

The function dev_pm_qos_expose_latency_limit() is null if no CONFIG_PM.
So when CONFIG_PM enabled, may we could consider the cpu idle is also
wanted. In this assumption the #ifdef could be removed. If user want to
use this feature, she/he should understand the feature only work on menu
gov only currently. So consider this, I guess we could remove this
#ifdef. :)

Any different concerns on this?

Regards
Alex

BTW,
Although I did try this patch on other platform, but it clearly other
multi core system, like x86 could also get the same benefit.

But instead of putting the #ifdef into the function body, you can use
a wrapper function defined to be empty for CONFIG_PM unset.

Thanks,
Rafael

Thanks Rafael!

The function dev_pm_qos_expose_latency_limit() is empty now when
CONFIG_PM disabled. :)
I will resend the patch without the #ifdef.

Thanks!
