It is to fall back to previously set pm_qos request after a timeout. If the user did pm_qos_update_request(X) and then pm_qos_update_request_timeout(Y), then it seems fair to return back to X after the timeout. With a single req struct, I intended to allow both non-timeout API and timeout API at the same time. > >> + ? ? struct delayed_work work; /* for pm_qos_update_request_timeout */ >> ?}; >> >> ?struct dev_pm_qos_request { >> @@ -74,6 +77,8 @@ void pm_qos_add_request(struct pm_qos_request *req, int pm_qos_class, >> ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? s32 value); >> ?void pm_qos_update_request(struct pm_qos_request *req, >> ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?s32 new_value); >> +void pm_qos_update_request_timeout(struct pm_qos_request *req, >> + ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?s32 new_value, unsigned long timeout); > Don't you need 2 values? ?one for the request and one for the time out > request target? Ah.... you want pm_qos_update_request_timeout to timeout the recent QoS request on the same req object. I intended to allow adding both timeout request and non-time request on the same req object. However, it appears that the approach you've imagined is better as the PM QoS framework has been allowing one request through one req object. Then, we won't need the backup value described above. I'll change the semmantics of this API in the next iteration. > > I tend to not like time out api's. ?They are race conditions waiting to > happen. > > The caller could have its own timer that can simply go off and update the > requested qos. > Yes, we have been doing so and resulted in creating time-out work here and there all over the places repeatedly.

I thought many mobile devices would need or have been already using this feature (frequency-up with timeout for input events), but I guess we'll need more opinions on this. Thanks so much for the comments. Cheers!
