[PATCH][rfc] intel_pstate: Fix user input of min/max to legal policy region

From: Chen Yu
Date: Tue Aug 11 2015 - 23:45:55 EST


In current code, if system is using performance policy, user can
modify the max_perf_pct to any values lower than 100:

$ grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/m*_perf_pct
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct:100
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct:100

$ echo 80 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct

$ grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/m*_perf_pct
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct:80
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct:100

the max_perf_pct above is lower than min_perf_pct, which
is not reasonable.

This patch solves this problem by clamping min_perf_pct and max_perf_pct
to be strictly inside [min_policy_pct,max_policy_pct].
