  • In preparation for daily driving #MobileLinux I've been thinking a lot about what must be done for reliable and power-efficient push notifications.
    valpackett@social.treehouse.systemsV valpackett@social.treehouse.systems

    @Oleksii that's kinda basically impossible 🙂 🙂 🙂 there isn't really any granular energy measurement in the hardware, heck all the hw shares power rails in ways that would make per-rail measurement not-so-useful.

    fun fact, even what macOS reports as power usage by apps is kind of a guesstimate based on resource usage and factory measurement of how that vaguely translates into energy.

    @elly just not turning on the display would leave DSI off, and if touchscreen is a panel-follower also that with the SPI/I2C used for it. that's all already managed by runtime pm!

    USB of all things just is not there yet, it does pm_runtime_forbid() still (you can override that by echoing auto into power/control for all usb, xhci-hcd and related phy nodes and pray xD)

    not enabling more than one CPU core until there's actual activity is very interesting yeah. somewhat related is using scx-lavd as the scheduler which does try to bunch tasks together onto one cluster to keep the others in suspend as much as possible. but hard "only 1 core online until the session is open" would be a nice big hammer 😄

    oh oh I also forgor for the list: bg services will need to have some way of opening the push connection specifically over the mobile data interface if available (unless specific-enough wakeup is possible with wifi after all)

    In preparation for daily driving #MobileLinux I've been thinking a lot about what must be done for reliable and power-efficient push notifications.

    Spoiler alert: while UnifiedPush may be a relevant service for some apps, it's not where platform dev focus should be. We want a future full of p2p apps that reject permanently-addressable "servers" entirely, after all! And centralization is not where the bulk of the power-saving magic is anyway. The "magic" is in the fact that the SoC can be in deep sleep and the modem will still wake it up with an interrupt when data arrives on an open connection. It should be fine to have apps' own service processes listen for notifications!

    My rough sketch of a to-do list would be:

    • making sure wakeups don't turn the display on xD
    • research into what's needed to set up filtering on the modem for which sockets can wake the SoC up (but initially, fine to just rely on "nothing else has open sockets anyway, only the background services waiting for pushes" maybe?)
    • easy API for establishing the push connection specifically over mobile data if available (since only modem supports wakeup well rn)
    • support for robust background services: unlike what the Background portal offers now, let #Flatpak apps install systemd-user services, which would have metadata connecting them to the .desktop entry, making them introspectable and accountable via settings GUIs (not via control center popups! they shouldn't show up as "annoying left-over in-process thing possibly eating battery"! they're a different thing, expected to run permanently!)
    • actually getting apps to separate push notification listeners into background services
