1 | /* |
2 | * latency.c: Explicit system-wide latency-expectation infrastructure | |
3 | * | |
4 | * The purpose of this infrastructure is to allow device drivers to set | |
5 | * latency constraint they have and to collect and summarize these | |
6 | * expectations globally. The cummulated result can then be used by | |
7 | * power management and similar users to make decisions that have | |
8 | * tradoffs with a latency component. | |
9 | * | |
10 | * An example user of this are the x86 C-states; each higher C state saves | |
11 | * more power, but has a higher exit latency. For the idle loop power | |
12 | * code to make a good decision which C-state to use, information about | |
13 | * acceptable latencies is required. | |
14 | * | |
15 | * An example announcer of latency is an audio driver that knowns it | |
16 | * will get an interrupt when the hardware has 200 usec of samples | |
17 | * left in the DMA buffer; in that case the driver can set a latency | |
18 | * constraint of, say, 150 usec. | |
19 | * | |
20 | * Multiple drivers can each announce their maximum accepted latency, | |
21 | * to keep these appart, a string based identifier is used. | |
