What would be wrong with > using a plain "bool" instead? So, this part of the code was originally proposed by Peter. I basically took it from the following message (hence the Suggested-by) which was fine by me: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180709120138.GQ2494@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net/ Also, one of the things that has been mentioned during reviews was that other clients (such as cpuidle, IIRC) could potentially be interested in a 'global' cpu util value. And since those clients might have different needs than EAS or sugov, they might need a new entry in the enum. So that's probably the main argument for the enum, it is easy to extend.

As I said above, the enum has the good side of being easier to extend. So, if we care about that, I guess I'd rather add a doc for the new type. > > + > > #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_SCHEDUTIL > > +unsigned long schedutil_freq_util(int cpu, unsigned long util_cfs, > > + enum schedutil_type type); > > + > > static inline unsigned long cpu_bw_dl(struct rq *rq) > > { > > return (rq->dl.running_bw * SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE) >> BW_SHIFT; > > @@ -2199,6 +2207,12 @@ static inline unsigned long cpu_util_rt(struct rq *rq) > > { > > return READ_ONCE(rq->avg_rt.util_avg); > > } > > +#else /* CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_SCHEDUTIL */ > > +static inline unsigned long schedutil_freq_util(int cpu, unsigned long util, > > + enum schedutil_type type) > > +{ > > + return util; > > +} > > #endif > > And I would add a wrapper around schedutil_freq_util(), called say > schedutil_energy_util(), that would pass a specific value as the > "type". OK, that's fine by me. Other than that, do you think these changes could be done later ? Or do you see that as mandatory before the patches can be picked up ? Thanks, Quentin
