From: Pierre Gondois Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 20:44:01 +0000 (+0100) Subject: cpufreq: Add boost_freq_req QoS request X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6e39ba4e5a82aa5469b2ac517b74a71accb0540f;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git cpufreq: Add boost_freq_req QoS request The Power Management Quality of Service (PM QoS) allows to aggregate constraints from multiple entities. It is currently used to manage the min/max frequency of a given policy. Frequency constraints can come for instance from: - Thermal framework: acpi_thermal_cpufreq_init() - Firmware: _PPC objects: acpi_processor_ppc_init() - User: by setting policyX/scaling_[min|max]_freq The minimum of the max frequency constraints is used to compute the resulting maximum allowed frequency. When enabling boost frequencies, the same frequency request object (policy->max_freq_req) as to handle requests from users is used. As a result, when setting: - scaling_max_freq - boost The last sysfs file used overwrites the request from the other sysfs file. To avoid this, create a per-policy boost_freq_req to save the boost constraints instead of overwriting the last scaling_max_freq constraint. policy_set_boost() calls the cpufreq set_boost callback. Update the newly added boost_freq_req request from there: - whenever boost is toggled - to cover all possible paths In the existing .set_boost() callbacks: - Don't update policy->max as this is done through the qos notifier cpufreq_notifier_max() which calls cpufreq_set_policy(). - Remove freq_qos_update_request() calls as the qos request is now done in policy_set_boost() and updates the new boost_freq_req $ ## Init state scaling_max_freq:1000000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1000000 $ echo 700000 > scaling_max_freq scaling_max_freq:700000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1000000 $ echo 1 > ../boost scaling_max_freq:1200000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1200000 $ echo 800000 > scaling_max_freq scaling_max_freq:800000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1200000 $ ## Final step: $ ## Without the patches: $ echo 0 > ../boost scaling_max_freq:1000000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1000000 $ ## With the patches: $ echo 0 > ../boost scaling_max_freq:800000 cpuinfo_max_freq:1000000 Note: cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() updates policy->min and max from: A. cpufreq_boost_set_sw() \-cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() B. cpufreq_policy_online() \-cpufreq_table_validate_and_sort() \-cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo() Keep these updates as some drivers expect policy->min and max to be set through B.
