From d1e7c2996e988866e7ceceb4641a0886885b7889 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rafael J. Wysocki Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2020 12:12:46 +0100 Subject: cpufreq: schedutil: Always call driver if CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS is set Because sugov_update_next_freq() may skip a frequency update even if the need_freq_update flag has been set for the policy at hand, policy limits updates may not take effect as expected. For example, if the intel_pstate driver operates in the passive mode with HWP enabled, it needs to update the HWP min and max limits when the policy min and max limits change, respectively, but that may not happen if the target frequency does not change along with the limit at hand. In particular, if the policy min is changed first, causing the target frequency to be adjusted to it, and the policy max limit is changed later to the same value, the HWP max limit will not be updated to follow it as expected, because the target frequency is still equal to the policy min limit and it will not change until that limit is updated. To address this issue, modify get_next_freq() to let the driver callback run if the CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS cpufreq driver flag is set regardless of whether or not the new frequency to set is equal to the previous one.

Though the schedutil governor has necessary locking and support in place to make sure we don't miss any of those updates, there is a corner case where the governor will find that the CPU is already running at the desired frequency and so may skip an update. For example, consider that the CPU can run at 1 GHz, 1.2 GHz and 1.4 GHz and is running at 1 GHz currently. Schedutil tries to update the frequency to 1.2 GHz, during this time the policy limits get changed as policy->min = 1.4 GHz. As schedutil (and cpufreq core) does clamp the frequency at various instances, we will eventually set the frequency to 1.4 GHz, while we will save 1.2 GHz in sg_policy->next_freq. Now lets say the policy limits get changed back at this time with policy->min as 1 GHz. The next time schedutil is invoked by the scheduler, we will reevaluate the next frequency (because need_freq_update will get set due to limits change event) and lets say we want to set the frequency to 1.2 GHz again. At this point sugov_update_next_freq() will find the next_freq == current_freq and will abort the update, while the CPU actually runs at 1.4 GHz. Until now need_freq_update was used as a flag to indicate that the policy's frequency limits have changed, and that we should consider the new limits while reevaluating the next frequency. This patch fixes the above mentioned issue by extending the purpose of the need_freq_update flag. If this flag is set now, the schedutil governor will not try to abort a frequency change even if next_freq == current_freq. As similar behavior is required in the case of CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS flag as well, need_freq_update will never be set to false if that flag is set for the driver. We also don't need to consider the need_freq_update flag in sugov_update_single() anymore to handle the special case of busy CPU, as we won't abort a frequency update anymore.
