[PATCH] cpupower: Provide offline CPU information for cpuidle-set and cpufreq-set options

From: latha
Date: Mon Jul 13 2020 - 03:57:05 EST


From: Brahadambal Srinivasan <latha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When a user tries to modify cpuidle or cpufreq properties on offline
CPUs, the tool returns success (exit status 0) but also does not provide
any warning message regarding offline cpus that may have been specified
but left unchanged. In case of all or a few CPUs being offline, it can be
difficult to keep track of which CPUs didn't get the new frequency or idle
state set. Silent failures are difficult to keep track of when there are a
huge number of CPUs on which the action is performed.

This patch adds an additional message if the user attempts to modify
offline cpus.
