In the function cpuidle_cooling_set_cur_state(), if current_state is not equal to state and both current_state and state are greater than 0(scene 4 as follows), then maybe it should stop->start or restart idle_inject.

Sorry, I don't get it.

It is an update of the state, why do we need to restart the idle injection ? The state change will be automatically take into account by the idle injection code at the new injection cycle.

Thanks for your comments.

For example, we call cpuidle_cooling_set_cur_state() twice, first time the input parameter state is 20, second time the input parameter state is 30.

In current code, in the second call of cpuidle_cooling_set_cur_state(), current_state == 20, state == 30, then "if (current_state == 0 && state > 0)" is not satisfied, "else if (current_state > 0 && !state)" is not satisfied either, so we just update idle_cdev->state to 30 and idle_inject_set_duration to new injection cycle，but we do not call idle injection code.

Ok, I think understand your question.

When the idle injection is started, a timer is periodically calling the function play_idle_precise() with the idle duration. This one is updated by idle_inject_set_duration().

So when the state is changed, that changes the idle duration. At the next timer expiration, a few Milli seconds after, play_idle_precise() will be called with the new idle duration which was updated by idle_inject_set_duration().

There is no need to stop and start the idle injection at each update.

The new value is take into account automatically for the next cycle.

It does not really matter if the update is delayed. Restarting the idle injection at each update will be worth in the cooling context than waiting an idle cycle.

In the example mentioned above, we should call idle injection code. If idle_inject_start() takes into account by the idle injection code at the new injection cycle, then just calling idle_inject_start() is ok. Otherwise, we need a restart or stop->start process to execute idle injection code at the new state 30.

The scenes changed is as follows,

scene current_state state action

 1              0          >0       start
 2              0          0        do nothing
 3              >0         0        stop
 4        >0 && !=state    >0       stop->start or restart
 5        >0 && ==state    >0       do nothing
