#1314110 — [PATCH] cpuidle: fix fallback mechanism for suspend to idle in absence of enter_freeze

Commit 51164251f5c3 ("sched / idle: Drop default_idle_call() fallback
from call_cpuidle()") made find_deepest_state() return non-negative
value and check all the states with index > 0. Also a result,
find_deepest_state() returns 0 even when enter_freeze callbacks are not
implemented and enter_freeze_proper is called which ends up crashing
the kernel.

This patch updates the check for index > 0 in cpuidle_enter_freeze and
cpuidle_idle_call(when idle_should_freeze is true) to restore the
suspend-to-idle functionality in absence of enter_freeze callback.

Hi Rafael,

I assume you prefer to retain find_deepest_state return non-negative
values, so I took this approach for fixing the bug. Do you think we
need to support enter_freeze_proper for index 0 ?

Regards,
Sudeep

Hi,

Sorry for the breakage.

Zero is a special case on x86, so supporting enter_freeze_proper() for it
is not necessary.

If you think we can also make 0 a special case on ARM, the others should
not object to that either.

Sorry that I missed to test suspend-to-idle before it got merged.

Even on ARM, 0 is used for WFI only, which will not be used for freeze.

Makes sense and since it's already reserved for WFI on ARM, it should be
fine. If there are no objections, can you pick up this fix ?

Yes, I've already done that.
