    PM / Domains: Cache device stop and domain power off governor results, v3 · 6ff7bb0d
    Rafael J. Wysocki authored
    The results of the default device stop and domain power off governor
    functions for generic PM domains, default_stop_ok() and
    default_power_down_ok(), depend only on the timing data of devices,
    which are static, and on their PM QoS constraints.  Thus, in theory,
    these functions only need to carry out their computations, which may
    be time consuming in general, when it is known that the PM QoS
    constraint of at least one of the devices in question has changed.
    
    Use the PM QoS notifiers of devices to implement that.  First,
    introduce new fields, constraint_changed and max_off_time_changed,
    into struct gpd_timing_data and struct generic_pm_domain,
    respectively, and register a PM QoS notifier function when adding
    a device into a domain that will set those fields to 'true' whenever
    the device's PM QoS constraint is modified.  Second, make
    default_stop_ok() and default_power_down_ok() use those fields to
    decide whether or not to carry out their computations from scratch.
    
    The device and PM domain hierarchies are taken into account in that
    and the expense is that the changes of PM QoS constraints of
    suspended devices will not be taken into account immediately, which
    isn't guaranteed anyway in general.
