#1503471 — [PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Set P-state upfront in performance mode

From"Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@rjwysocki.net>

Subject[PATCH] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Set P-state upfront in performance mode
Message-ID<stNoB-1Cu-3@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

After commit a4675fbc4a7a (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with
utilization update callbacks) the cpufreq governor callbacks may not
be invoked on NOHZ_FULL CPUs and, in particular, switching to the
"performance" policy via sysfs may not have any effect on them.  That
is a problem, because it usually is desirable to squeeze the last
bit of performance out of those CPUs, so work around it by setting
the maximum P-state (within the limits) in intel_pstate_set_policy()
upfront when the policy is CPUFREQ_POLICY_PERFORMANCE.

Fixes: a4675fbc4a7a (cpufreq: intel_pstate: Replace timers with utilization update callbacks)

Can we move this to intel_pstate_set_performance_limits

Not really, because the policy->max < policy->cpuinfo.max_freq case
needs to be covered too.

At least I don't see why it shouldn't be covered.
