Yi Yang 53391fa20c cpufreq: fix obvious condition statement error ... The function __cpufreq_set_policy in file drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c has a very obvious error: if (policy->min > data->min && policy->min > policy->max) { ret = -EINVAL; goto error_out; } This condtion statement is wrong because it returns -EINVAL only if policy->min is greater than policy->max (in this case, "policy->min > data->min" is true for ever.). In fact, it should return -EINVAL as well if policy->max is less than data->min. The correct condition should be: if (policy->min > data->max || policy->max < data->min) { The following test result testifies the above conclusion: Before applying this patch: [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 2394000 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 1596000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo "2000000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo "0" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo "1595000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# After applying this patch: [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 2394000 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 1596000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 1596000 [root@localhost /]# echo "2000000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@localhost /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 1596000 [root@localhost /]# echo "0" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@localhost /]# echo "1595000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@localhost /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 1596000 [root@localhost /]# echo "1596000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [root@localhost /]# echo "2394000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [root@localhost /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 2394000 [root@localhost /] Signed-off-by: Yi Yang <yi.y.yang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>		2008-01-30 13:33:34 +01:00
