Subject: ondemand excessive wakeups.
Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2007 15:02:40 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070312190240.GA19796@redhat.com> (raw)
A colleague noticed that his laptop in runlevel 3 was doing ~120 context
switches a second whilst completely idle. Process of elimation worked out
that after disabling acpi-cpufreq & ondemand, the cs drop to around 4 per sec.
cpufreq.debug=7 yields ..

Any ideas? With tickless now being default on i386, it's somewhat
nasty that a part of the system responsible for power saving is
causing us to waste power ;-)
