I think that there is some overlap between recalculating the accuracy
here and simply getting it. You only provide clk_get_accuracy and it
serves both purposes. It would be better if clk_recalc_accuracy walked
the subtree of children and if clk_get_accuracy simply returned a
cached
value.
I'm not sure I get your point.

I used exactly the same model as for clk rate retrieval.
Not exactly the same model. For rates we support public clk_recalc_rate
and clk_get_rate functions.

I didn't find any clk_recalc_rate function in the CCF.
Could you point me out where it is defined ?


Actually there's one flag (CLK_GET_ACCURACY_NOCACHE) which is
checked to decide wether the accuracy should be recalculated each
time the get_accuracy is called or not.

This means most of the time the clk_get_accuracy will return the cached
value unless the clk provider explicitely ask for accuracy recalculation
(e.g. a clk with dynamic accuracy according to temperature range ?).

Are you suggesting to expose 2 functions to clk users (clk_get_accuracy
and clk_recalc_accuracy) ?
Or is clk_recalc_accuracy an internal/private function used by the CCF ?
I was suggesting that in my previous email. However I've thought on it a
bit and I'm not sure there is any value to having a public
clk_recalc_accuracy right now.

The only reason to do so would be if the accuracy can change in such a
way that the clock framework is never aware of it. This would mean that
somehow the accuracy changed "behind our back".

One hypothetical example is a PLL which Linux knows about, but perhaps
is controlled by some other co-processor (not Linux). In this case the
co-processor may reprogram/relock the PLL in a way that affects it's
accuracy, and a Linux driver that knows this may want to update the CCF
book-keeping with a call to clk_recalc_accuracy.

That's all hypothetical though and it can be added in later. Looking
over your change again I think that it is sufficient for now.

This looks reasonable.
I'll propose a new patch to provide a public clk_recalc_rate function
after this
series is merged.


Oops: s/clk_recalc_rate/clk_recalc_accuracy/


Can you respin this patch with fixes for the two nitpicks I outlined in
my previous mail and rebase it onto -rc1 when it drops? That should be
any day now.

I've rebased this series (with the proposed fixes) onto linux-next.
I guess there won't be a lot of changes between the current tag (
next-20131115
<https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tag/?id=next-20131115>)

and -rc1, but I'll wait till -rc1 is released ;-).


Thanks for your review.

Best Regards,

Boris

Similar to the above statement. Why do this here? We do this for rates
since calls to clk_get_rate will return the cached rate (unless the
NOCACHE flag is set). But since a call to clk_get_accuracy will always
recalculate it then there is no benefit to doing that here.
This is the same for clk_get_accuracies (it returns the cached
accuracy unless CLK_GET_ACCURACY_NOCACHE is defined).

And changing parent of a clk will indirectly change the clk
accuracy (clk accuracies are cumulative).
