We've been over this kind of thing in the past. cpu hotplug is a relatively expensive operation, so people have previously been enthusiastic about using the scheduler to simply avoid running anything on CPUs if they're overheating. Has any general consensus been reached on this? I'm also not entirely thrilled at now having two ways to manage the cpu through the thermal layer. ACPI already plugs in via the passive trip points. If we're going to do this then I'd like to see the ACPI code merged in with the generic cpu cooling code. -- Matthew Garrett | mj...@srcf.ucam.org _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
