Subject: [PATCH] Revert "cpufreq: governor: Fix negative idle_time when configured with CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC"
Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2016 20:57:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8912976.5IbnMFmJ9d@vostro.rjw.lan> (raw)
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
Revert commit 0df35026c6a5 (cpufreq: governor: Fix negative idle_time
when configured with CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC) that introduced a regression
by causing the ondemand cpufreq governor to misbehave for
CONFIG_TICK_CPU_ACCOUNTING unset (the frequency goes up to the max at
one point and stays there indefinitely).
The revert takes subsequent modifications of the code in question into
account.
Fixes: 0df35026c6a5 (cpufreq: governor: Fix negative idle_time when configured with CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC)
