Subject[PATCH] regulator: core: if voltage scaling fails, restore original
Date
And after a second look it's clear what's going on:

[hangs here]

first time[1] it tries to ramp up frequency (and thus voltage),
regulator_set_voltage() returns an error and we exit:

omap-cpufreq.c::omap_target():

...
dev_dbg(mpu_dev, "cpufreq-omap: %u MHz, %ld mV --> %u MHz, %ld mV\n",
freqs.old / 1000, volt_old ? volt_old / 1000 : -1,
freqs.new / 1000, volt ? volt / 1000 : -1);

/* scaling up? scale voltage before frequency */
if (mpu_reg && (freqs.new > freqs.old)) {
r = regulator_set_voltage(mpu_reg, volt - tol, volt + tol);
if (r < 0) {
dev_warn(mpu_dev, "%s: unable to scale voltage up.\n",
__func__);
freqs.new = freqs.old;
goto done;
}
}

ret = clk_set_rate(mpu_clk, freqs.new * 1000);
...

but inside regulator_set_voltage(), we save the new regulator voltage before
actually ramping up:

core.c::regulator_set_voltage():
...
regulator->min_uV = min_uV;
regulator->max_uV = max_uV;

ret = regulator_check_consumers(rdev, &min_uV, &max_uV);
if (ret < 0)
goto out2;

ret = _regulator_do_set_voltage(rdev, min_uV, max_uV); <-- ERROR!!!
if (ret < 0)
goto out2;
...


and by the time we try to change frequency again[2], regulator_set_voltage()
is a noop because it thinks we are already at the desired voltage:

core.c::regulator_set_voltage():

...
/* If we're setting the same range as last time the change
* should be a noop (some cpufreq implementations use the same
* voltage for multiple frequencies, for example).
*/
if (regulator->min_uV == min_uV && regulator->max_uV == max_uV)
goto out;
...

and as a consequence, in omap_target(), we call clk_set_rate() with
the wrong voltage.

The attached patch restore the original regulator voltage values in case
of an error.

CCing stable@ since it predates 2.6.38rc1 when the noop optimization was
introduced:
