Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: schedutil: Avoid using invalid next_freq
Date: Wed, 09 May 2018 11:44:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2276196.ev9rMjHTR0@aspire.rjw.lan> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <872c3f8690d9362820639d91a807e535f10a9a36.1525761635.git.viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

If the next_freq field of struct sugov_policy is set to UINT_MAX,
it shouldn't be used for updating the CPU frequency (this is a
special "invalid" value), but after commit b7eaf1aab9f8 (cpufreq:
schedutil: Avoid reducing frequency of busy CPUs prematurely) it
may be passed as the new frequency to sugov_update_commit() in
sugov_update_single().

Fix that by adding an extra check for the special UINT_MAX value
of next_freq to sugov_update_single().

Fixes: b7eaf1aab9f8 (cpufreq: schedutil: Avoid reducing frequency of busy CPUs prematurely)
