What is the status of this patch ? I couldn't find it on the tip/queue repositories.
BTW, I wonder if we actually want to remove also the information about the scheduling class who triggered the frequency change.
This prevents us from adopting class-specific behaviors.
For example, we might want to skip the rate limits when deadline asks for an increase of frequency, as shown in the patch below.
In this case, we could just remove the flags from sugov_cpu, but leave the defines and the argument for sugov_update_*()
Best regards,
Claudio

Subject: [PATCH RFC] cpufreq: schedutil: rate limits for SCHED_DEADLINE
When the SCHED_DEADLINE scheduling class asks to increase CPU frequency,
we should not wait the rate limit, otherwise we may miss some deadline.
The patch just ignores the limit whenever SCHED_DEADLINE asks for a
higher CPU frequency.
