[PATCH] pm_qos: Make pm_qos settings readable

From: Thomas Renninger
Date: Sun Feb 27 2011 - 16:37:42 EST


I have a machine where entering deep C-states broke.
pm_qos was a hot candidate, but I couldn't find any way to double
check without the need of recompiling.

While in this case it was a driver bug (ath9k):
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27532

powertop or others may want to read out cpu_dma_latency
restrictions which could be the cause of preventing a machine
entering deeper C-states.

Output with this patch:

# default value of 2000 * USEC_PER_SEC (0x77359400)
cat /dev/network_latency |hexdump
0000000 9400 7735
0000004

# value of 55 us which is the reason for not entering C2
cat /dev/cpu_dma_latency |hexdump
0000000 0037 0000
0000004

There is no reason to hide this info -> make pm_qos files readable.
