Subject: [PATCH v1] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Always use HWP_DESIRED_PERF in passive mode
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2025 20:19:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6173276.lOV4Wx5bFT@rjwysocki.net> (raw)

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

In the passive mode, intel_cpufreq_update_pstate() sets HWP_MIN_PERF in
accordance with the target frequency to ensure delivering adequate
performance, but it sets HWP_DESIRED_PERF to 0, so the processor has no
indication that the desired performance level is actually equal to the
floor one.  This may cause it to choose a performance point way above
the desired level.

Moreover, this is inconsistent with intel_cpufreq_adjust_perf() which
actually sets HWP_DESIRED_PERF in accordance with the target performance
value.

Address this by adjusting intel_cpufreq_update_pstate() to pass
target_pstate as both the minimum and the desired performance levels
to intel_cpufreq_hwp_update().

Fixes: a365ab6b9dfb ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Implement the ->adjust_perf() callback")
