From 39b64aa1c007b98727db9f501266454fa403166c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2017 23:36:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: schedutil: Reduce frequencies slower The schedutil governor reduces frequencies too fast in some situations which cases undesirable performance drops to appear. To address that issue, make schedutil reduce the frequency slower by setting it to the average of the value chosen during the previous iteration of governor computations and the new one coming from its frequency selection formula.
