Bug ID: 222146
Summary: 6.18: AMD (Ryzen 5): cannot select existing
energy_performance_preference
Product: Power Management
Version: 2.5
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: cpufreq
Assignee: linux-pm@vger.kernel.org
Reporter: steffen@sdaoden.eu
Regression: No
Hello! I sail 6.18.newest and since some weeks (possibly: since "custom",
whatever this is, is listed) my self-knitted "cpupower" shell script fails like
so:
/root/bin/cpupower.sh: 1: echo: echo: I/O error
ERR:CPU 0: write for energy_performance_preference=balance_performance failed
Ie it cannot set that even though it is reported to exist (the script refetches
what is available after settings are changed):
CPU 0: freq: 406477-3201000; scaling: 406477-3201000; boost:0; gov: powersave
(performance powersave); energy: performance (default performance
balance_performance balance_power power custom)
On the terminal:
#?0|lecce:~# cat
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/energy_performance_available_preferences
default performance balance_performance balance_power power custom
#?0|lecce:~# echo balance_performance >
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/energy_performance_preference
-su: echo: write error: Device or resource busy
#?1|lecce:~# cat
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/energy_performance_preference
performance
It works when i switch to all-performance, when i build, for example:
CPU 0: freq: 406477-4979334; scaling: 406477-4979334; boost:1; gov:
performance (performance powersave); energy: performance (performance)
And it worked everwhere just smoothly before.
Thanks again, a lot. I love it!

This kernel is not supported.
Please try 7.2.11.
If the issue is still reproducible, provide your full CPU identification
string.
Ryzen 5 covers multiple generations of CPUs.
lscpu output will suffice.

(for your possible interest)
What do you mean by "kernel not supported"? I use the latest LTS, just like
AlpineLinux. And it all worked until a few versions back?
(I mean, it is not something "terrible", i just thought i report the problem,
because it is a "detoriation of state" that lasts for now several kernel
updates.)
lscpu nonetheless and in short is

(energy "should" be "power" in this state, and was until a few weeks ago.)

merde, of course you can have full lscpu or whatever you want!!
Thanks, indeed.
(I was only sad because of that AMD "territorial pissing" as via
lid_exists() {
if [ -z "$LID" ]; then
# Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/acpi-lid.rst
LID=/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state
[ -f "$LID" ] && return 0
# amd ryzen 5 220, linux 6.18
LID=/proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state
[ -f "$LID" ] && return 0
LID=.
fi
[ "$LID" != . ]
}
Cool that really someone deals with bugzilla!!!)

Wait, have you tested 7.2.11 or 7.3?
