The previous patch had bugs (locking and refcount).
This one could also be related to the latest DELL reports.
But they only slip into this if a user prog (e.g. powersave daemon does when
AC got (un) plugged due to a scheme change) echos something to
/sys/../cpufreq/scaling_governor
while the frequencies got limited by BIOS.
This one works:
Subject: Max freq stucks at low freq if reduced by _PPC and sysfs gov access
The problem is reproducable by(if machine is limiting freqs via BIOS):
- Unplugging AC -> max freq gets limited
- echo ${governor} >/sys/.../cpufreq/scaling_governor (policy->user_data.max
gets overridden with policy->max and will never come up again.)
This patch exchanged the cpufreq_set_policy call to __cpufreq_set_policy and
duplicated it's functionality but did not override user_data.max.
The same happens with overridding min/max values. If freqs are limited and
you override the min freq value, the max freq global value will also get
stuck to the limited freq, even if BIOS allows all freqs again.
Last scenario does only happen if BIOS does not reduce the frequency
to the lowest value (should never happen, just for correctness...)
