The iowait boosting code has been recently updated to add a progressive
boosting behavior which allows to be less aggressive in boosting tasks
doing only sporadic IO operations, thus being more energy efficient for
example on mobile platforms.
The current code is now however a bit convoluted. Some functionalities
(e.g. iowait boost reset) are replicated in different paths and their
documentation is slightly misaligned.
Let's cleanup the code by consolidating all the IO wait boosting related
functionality within within few dedicated functions and better define
their role:
- sugov_iowait_boost: set/increase the IO wait boost of a CPU
- sugov_iowait_apply: apply/reduce the IO wait boost of a CPU
Both these two function are used at every sugov update and they make
use of a unified IO wait boost reset policy provided by:
- sugov_iowait_reset: reset/disable the IO wait boost of a CPU
if a CPU is not updated for more then one tick
This makes possible a cleaner and more self-contained design for the IO
wait boosting code since the rest of the sugov update routines, both for
single and shared frequency domains, follow the same template:
/* Configure IO boost, if required */
sugov_iowait_boost()
/* Return here if freq change is in progress or throttled */
/* Collect and aggregate utilization information */
sugov_get_util()
sugov_aggregate_util()
/*
* Add IO boost, if currently enabled, on top of the aggregated
* utilization value
*/
sugov_iowait_apply()
As a extra bonus, let's also add the documentation for the new
functions and better align the in-code documentation.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
