From 97739501f207efe33145b918817f305b822987f8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" Date: Wed, 9 May 2018 11:44:56 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: schedutil: Avoid using invalid next_freq 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) Reported-by: Viresh Kumar Cc: 4.12+ # 4.12+ Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
