[PATCH v8 3/3] firmware: qcom_scm: Check for waitq state in wait_for_wq_completion()
Posted by Shivendra Pratap 3 months, 1 week ago
From: Unnathi Chalicheemala <unnathi.chalicheemala@oss.qualcomm.com>

Modify wait_for_wq_completion() to check if task is in idle state using
wait_for_completion_state().

This allows for detecting when waitq contexts are in idle state and
propagates it to __scm_smc_do(), which is beneficial when task is idle
and waiting for a kick to accept new requests.

This is not what's happening. wait_for_completion_state(comp,
TASK_IDLE) puts the waiting task into TASK_IDLE state. It's not
checking anything.

Could you elaborate on what benefit exactly this is giving us? It's
not quite clear from this paragraph.

The TASK_IDLE state is introduced to handle scenarios where the kernel makes
a Secure Monitor Call and the firmware requests the kernel to wait.
During this wait, the thread typically enters an uninterruptible (D) state. 
If the firmware’s requested wait is long, and a device suspend request occurs
during that time, the suspend cannot proceed because the task is stuck in the
D state. To avoid blocking device suspend during these extended waits, the patch
adds support for TASK_IDLE state. This allows the thread to wait without the
device suspend.
Will update the commit message.

thanks,
