I just noticed that recently (apparently since 4d5dcc4211f9def4) the sysfs file that used to be called ignore_nice_load is now called ignore_nice. I don't know why this was renamed, but what has me worried even more is the fact that the documentation in Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt wasn't updated accordingly: it still talks about ignore_nice_load. It would be beter to synchronize these two again. Investigating this issue, I also found that the file used to be called ignore_nice in the past, but at that point apparently had an inverted meaning. The node was renamed deliberately in 001893cda2f280ab when the semantics changed. I can't help but wonder whether anyone might now get confused with this old name popping up again, after all this time. Either name is fine by me, but I am surprised nevertheless. I hope I can get this message through without being subscribed to the list. I would be happy if you could cc me on any replies, but as long as someone will eventually take care of things, you may also choose to discuss this on the list without me. I doubt I can contribute any more.
