Re[2]: [PATCH] input: gpio-keys - optimize wakeup sequence.

Dear Dmitry,

Greetings!!!

Thank you so much for your response.

I checked in detailed again and observed the below points, please help to review
and approve it.



There is ISR "gpio_keys_gpio_isr" which is called when the key state is 1 i.e.
key pressed.
Therefore modified code will not impact on the existing driver code.

//For key pressed event:
<3>[ 549.180072] I[0: swapper/0: 0] gpio_keys_gpio_isr
<3>[ 549.196126] [1: kworker/1:1: 78] gpio_keys_gpio_work_func
<3>[ 549.196198] [1: kworker/1:1: 78] gpio-keys soc:gpio_keys: gpio_keys_gpio_report_event key = 115, value = 1



Performance:

I have calculated the differece between entry & exit time
with modified and without modified code and observed that
0.3ms extra computation time in current scenario in each entry/exit time.

Because below APIs will not be called in every resume functions:

1. static void gpio_keys_report_state(struct gpio_keys_drvdata *ddata)
2. static void gpio_keys_gpio_report_event(struct gpio_button_data *bdata)
3. gpiod_get_value_cansleep(bdata->gpiod);
4. input_event(input, type, *bdata->code, state);
5. input_sync(input)

So we can save 0.3ms computation time, resume operations will faster and save battery as well.

Unfortunately it also breaks the driver as button->value does not hold
the current state of the GPIO but rather set one via device tree so that
the driver can use that value when sending EV_ABS events. So with
typical GPIO-backed keys or buttons you change results in no events
reported on resume.

I also wonder what kind of measurements you did on improvements to
suspend/resume time with your change.

Thanks.
