Message-ID: <bug-222146-137361@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222146
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!
