Hello,
Since a month or so I've noticed that my only text box that supports
P-states would seem to eventually get all its CPUs stuck in the lower
frequency P-state, and no amount of load would result in a P-state
change.
The issue has always been intermittent, and not easy to reproduce.
Looking at the on-demand governor I've found the two issues fixed on
this series. With those fixed I haven't been able to reproduce the
issue, but as said I don't have a deterministic way to trigger it.
Anyway, the fixes look legit, so regardless of whether there's something
else causing my issue, we should take those. I'm a bit surprised no-one
has noticed wonky performance with the on-demand governor before; the
changes that introduce those issue have been there since the governor
was introduced. Neither I know why I've only noticed the low frequency
stickiness issue ~last month, if it was indeed caused by the issues
here.
Thanks, Roger.
