From 1b72e7fd304639f1cd49d1e11955c4974936d88c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2017 00:20:41 +0200 Subject: cpufreq: schedutil: Use policy-dependent transition delays Make the schedutil governor take the initial (default) value of the rate_limit_us sysfs attribute from the (new) transition_delay_us policy parameter (to be set by the scaling driver). That will allow scaling drivers to make schedutil use smaller default values of rate_limit_us and reduce the default average time interval between consecutive frequency changes. Make intel_pstate set transition_delay_us to 500. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
