PEP_PLATFORM_IDLE_STATE structure (pep_x.h)
The PEP_PLATFORM_IDLE_STATE structure specifies the properties of a platform idle state.
Syntax
typedef struct _PEP_PLATFORM_IDLE_STATE {
POHANDLE InitiatingProcessor;
UCHAR InitiatingState;
ULONG Latency;
ULONG BreakEvenDuration;
ULONG DependencyArrayUsed;
ULONG DependencyArrayCount;
PEP_PROCESSOR_IDLE_DEPENDENCY DependencyArray[ANYSIZE_ARRAY];
} PEP_PLATFORM_IDLE_STATE, *PPEP_PLATFORM_IDLE_STATE;
Members
InitiatingProcessor
A POHANDLE value that identifies the processor that initiates the transition to this platform idle state, or NULL if any processor can initiate the transition. If non-NULL, this handle represents the registration of the processor (as a device) with the Windows power management framework (PoFx).
InitiatingState
The index of the processor idle state that the processor enters to initiate the platform's entry to the specified platform idle state. If the IdleStates array in the PEP_PPM_QUERY_IDLE_STATES_V2 structure contains N elements, the idle states are numbered 0 to N-1 in the order in which they appear in the array.
Latency
The worst-case latency, in 100-nanosecond units, that the platform requires to wake from this idle state in response to a wake event.
BreakEvenDuration
The minimum amount of time, specified in 100-nanosecond units, that the platform must spend in this idle state to make a transition to this state worthwhile. PoFx uses this member value as a hint to avoid switching the platform to an idle state unless the platform is likely to remain in this state for at least the amount of time specified by BreakEvenDuration.
DependencyArrayUsed
The number of items in DependencyArray which were filled in by the PEP.
DependencyArrayCount
The number of elements in the DependencyArray array. The array contains one element for each processor in the hardware platform.
DependencyArray[ANYSIZE_ARRAY]
The first element in an array of PEP_PROCESSOR_IDLE_DEPENDENCY structures. This array specifies the set of dependencies that the platform idle state has on each processor. If the platform contains N processors, the array contains N elements, and processors are numbered 0 to N-1 in the order in which they are represented in the array.
Remarks
This structure is used in conjunction with the PEP_NOTIFY_PPM_QUERY_PLATFORM_STATE notification. The State member of a PEP_PPM_QUERY_PLATFORM_STATE structure is a PEP_PLATFORM_IDLE_STATE structure.
