From 08a28e2e98aa821cf6f15f8a267beb2f33377bb9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Clouter Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 09:59:16 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq_conservative: make for_each_cpu() safe All these changes should make cpufreq_conservative safe in regards to the x86 for_each_cpu cpumask.h changes and whatnot. Whilst making it safe a number of pointless for loops related to the cpu mask's were removed. I was never comfortable with all those for loops, especially as the iteration is over the same data again and again for each CPU you had in a single poll, an O(n^2) outcome to frequency scaling. The approach I use is to assume by default no CPU's exist and it sets the requested_freq to zero as a kind of flag, the reasoning is in the source ;) If the CPU is queried and requested_freq is zero then it initialises the variable to current_freq and then continues as if nothing happened which should be the same net effect as before?
