Commit Message

PoShao Chen June 12, 2024, 3:31 a.m. UTC
This patch fixes the behavior of the cpufreq boost when the
global boost flag is toggled during CPU hotplug offline. This action
previously led to incorrect scaling_max_freq values when the CPU was
brought back online. The issue also manifested as incorrect
scaling_cur_freq under the performance governor.

For example, after the following operations, even if the global boost
is disabled, the resulting scaling_max_freq and scaling_cur_freq
will still reflect the settings of an enabled boost.

$ echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7/scaling_governor
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy7/scaling_cur_freq

Thank you for the suggestion. However, calling ->set_boost when
the policy is inactive will fail in two ways:

1. policy->freq_table will be NULL.
2. freq_qos_update_request will fail to refresh the frequency limit.
