This request applies to all CPUs of the policy. It is not possible to request a per-CPU maximum frequency. Thus, the interaction between the policy boost and scaling_max_freq settings should be handled by adding a boost specific QoS constraint. This will be handled in the following patches. This patch reverts of: commit 1608f0230510 ("cpufreq: Fix re-boost issue after hotplugging a CPU") Note: I was unable to reproduce the issue initially reported. So far it seems that was fixed in: commit 121baab7b88e ("cpufreq: Force sync policy boost with global boost on sysfs update") Another point is that the initial patch states that the error comes a max_freq_req request is repeated, but calls to freq_qos_update_request() would return 0 and all calls are checked against negative values.

It is currently used to manage the min/max frequency of a given policy. Frequency constraints can come for instance from: - Thermal framework: acpi_thermal_cpufreq_init() - Firmware: _PPC objects: acpi_processor_ppc_init() - User: by setting policyX/scaling_[min|max]_freq The minimum of the max frequency constraints is used to compute the resulting maximum allowed frequency. When enabling boost frequencies, the same frequency request object (policy->max_freq_req) as to handle requests from users is used. As a result, when setting: - scaling_max_freq - boost The last sysfs file used overwrites the request from the other sysfs file. To avoid this, create a per-policy boost_freq_req to save the boost constraints instead of overwriting the last scaling_max_freq constraint. policy_set_boost() calls the cpufreq set_boost callback. Update the newly added boost_freq_req request from there: - whenever boost is toggled - to cover all possible paths In the existing .set_boost() callbacks: - Don't update policy->max as this is done through the qos notifier cpufreq_notifier_max() which calls cpufreq_set_policy(). - Remove freq_qos_update_request() calls as the qos request is now done in policy_set_boost() and updates the new boost_freq_req $ ## Init state scaling_max_freq:1000000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1000000 $ echo 700000 > scaling_max_freq scaling_max_freq:700000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1000000 $ echo 1 > ../boost scaling_max_freq:1200000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1200000 $ echo 800000 > scaling_max_freq scaling_max_freq:800000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1200000 $ ## Final step: $ ## Without the patches: $ echo 0 > ../boost scaling_max_freq:1000000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1000000 $ ## With the patches: $ echo 0 > ../boost scaling_max_freq:800000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1000000 Note: cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() updates policy->min and max from: A. cpufreq_boost_set_sw() \-cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() B. cpufreq_policy_online() \-cpufreq_table_validate_and_sort() \-cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() Keep these updates as some drivers expect policy->min and max to be set through B.

There is an exception if CPUFREQ_NEED_INITIAL_FREQ_CHECK is set and: cpufreq_policy_online() \-cpufreq_init_policy() \-__cpufreq_driver_target() \-cpufreq_driver->target() is called. In this case, some drivers use the policy min/max values in their .target() callback before they are overridden. This should only concern the sh-cpufreq driver, so policy->min and max values are replaced with their cpuinfo equivalent. In this patch: - Setting policy->min or max value in driver .init() cb is interpreted as setting a QoS constraint. - All policy->min and max initialization is removed as the value is not used. - For the cppc-cpufreq driver, the lowest non-linear freq. is used as a min QoS constraint as suggested at: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260213100633.15413-1-zhangpengjie2@huawei.= com/ Signed-off-by: Pierre Gondois --- drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c | 24 ++++++++++++------------ drivers/cpufreq/cppc_cpufreq.c | 11 +++++++---- drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq-nforce2.c | 4 ++-- drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c | 15 +++++++++++++-- drivers/cpufreq/freq_table.c | 7 +++---- drivers/cpufreq/gx-suspmod.c | 9 ++++----- drivers/cpufreq/intel_pstate.c | 3 --- drivers/cpufreq/pcc-cpufreq.c | 8 ++++---- drivers/cpufreq/pxa3xx-cpufreq.c | 4 ++-- drivers/cpufreq/sh-cpufreq.c | 7 ++++--- drivers/cpufreq/virtual-cpufreq.c | 5 +---- 11 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 45 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c b/drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c index 310d5938cbdf6..aaafbe9b26cae 100644 --- a/drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c +++ b/drivers/cpufreq/amd-pstate.c @@ -1003,12 +1003,12 @@ static int amd_pstate_cpu_init(struct cpufreq_polic= y *policy) =20 perf =3D READ_ONCE(cpudata->perf); =20 - policy->cpuinfo.min_freq =3D policy->min =3D perf_to_freq(perf, - cpudata->nominal_freq, - perf.lowest_perf); - policy->cpuinfo.max_freq =3D policy->max =3D perf_to_freq(perf, - cpudata->nominal_freq, - perf.highest_perf); + policy->cpuinfo.min_freq =3D perf_to_freq(perf, + cpudata->nominal_freq, + perf.lowest_perf); + policy->cpuinfo.max_freq =3D perf_to_freq(perf, + cpudata->nominal_freq, + perf.highest_perf); =20 ret =3D amd_pstate_cppc_enable(policy); if (ret) @@ -1485,12 +1485,12 @@ static int amd_pstate_epp_cpu_init(struct cpufreq_p= olicy *policy) =20 perf =3D READ_ONCE(cpudata->perf); =20 - policy->cpuinfo.min_freq =3D policy->min =3D perf_to_freq(perf, - cpudata->nominal_freq, - perf.lowest_perf); - policy->cpuinfo.max_freq =3D policy->max =3D perf_to_freq(perf, - cpudata->nominal_freq, - perf.highest_perf); + policy->cpuinfo.min_freq =3D perf_to_freq(perf, + cpudata->nominal_freq, + perf.lowest_perf); + policy->cpuinfo.max_freq =3D perf_to_freq(perf, + cpudata->nominal_freq, + perf.highest_perf); policy->driver_data =3D cpudata; =20 ret =3D amd_pstate_cppc_enable(policy); diff --git a/drivers/cpufreq/cppc_cpufreq.c b/drivers/cpufreq/cppc_cpufreq.c index 4c46c7ea318eb..2bbf36516a0f0 100644 --- a/drivers/cpufreq/cppc_cpufreq.c +++ b/drivers/cpufreq/cppc_cpufreq.c @@ -586,6 +586,7 @@ static int cppc_cpufreq_cpu_init(struct cpufreq_policy = *policy) unsigned int cpu =3D policy->cpu; struct cppc_cpudata *cpu_data; struct cppc_perf_caps *caps; + unsigned int min, max; int ret; =20 cpu_data =3D cppc_cpufreq_get_cpu_data(cpu); @@ -596,13 +597,15 @@ static int cppc_cpufreq_cpu_init(struct cpufreq_polic= y *policy) caps =3D &cpu_data->perf_caps; policy->driver_data =3D cpu_data; =20 + min =3D cppc_perf_to_khz(caps, caps->lowest_nonlinear_perf); + max =3D cppc_perf_to_khz(caps, policy->boost_enabled ?

E.g. amd-pstate, cppc_cpufreq. Drivers relying on freq. tables and supporting boost frequencies rely on cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo(). cpuinfo.max_freq is only updated if the new maximal value is higher than the previous one. Using the scmi-cpufreq driver which relies on freq. tables, enabling boost will permanently increases the cpuinfo.max_freq value. This patch allows to lower cpuinfo.max_freq. Note: commit 538b0188da46 ("cpufreq: ACPI: Set cpuinfo.max_freq directly if max boost is known") favored having cpuinfo.max_freq reporting the maximal boosted frequency of a CPU instead of the maximal reachable frequency due to regressions in the frequency reported by cpuinfo.max and scaling_cur_freq. As stated above, this is not what most of the other cpufreq driver do. I assume that the following patch: commit 3c55e94c0ade ("cpufreq: ACPI: Extend frequency tables to cover boost frequencies") was correct, but might not have tagged the boosted frequency with the CPUFREQ_BOOST_FREQ flag in the freq. table.
