That's what I did initially, but for consistency reasons with the
cpufreq cpu cooling device which is stored in a list and the combo cpu
cooling device, the cpuidle cooling device must be per cluster and
stored in a list.
Alternatively I can do:
struct cpuidle_cooling_device {
struct thermal_cooling_device *cdev;
- struct task_struct **tsk;
+ struct task_struct __percpu *tsk;
struct cpumask *cpumask;
struct list_head node;
struct hrtimer timer;
struct kref kref;
- wait_queue_head_t *waitq;
+ wait_queue_head_t __percpu waitq;
atomic_t count;
unsigned int idle_cycle;
unsigned int state;
};
