Subject: [PATCH v3] cpufreq: ondemand: Update the efficient idle check for Intel extended Families
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2025 11:36:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250826183644.220093-1-sohil.mehta@intel.com> (raw)
IO time is considered busy by default for modern Intel processors. The
current check covers recent Family 6 models but excludes the brand new
Families 18 and 19.
According to Arjan van de Ven, the model check was mainly due to a lack
of testing on systems before INTEL_CORE2_MEROM. He suggests considering
all Intel processors as having an efficient idle.
Extend the IO busy classification to all Intel processors starting with
Family 6, including Family 15 (Pentium 4s) and upcoming Families 18/19.
