[PATCH 1/2] cpufreq: Fix re-boost issue after hotplugging a cpu

From: Lifeng Zheng
Date: Wed Jan 15 2025 - 05:01:39 EST


It turns out that cpuX will stay on the base frequency after performing
these operations:

1. boost all cpus: echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost

2. offline the cpu: echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online

3. deboost all cpus: echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost

4. online the cpu: echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online

5. boost all cpus again: echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost

This is because max_freq_req of the policy is not updated during the
online process, and the value of max_freq_req before the last offline is
retained. When the CPU is boosted again, freq_qos_update_request() will
do nothing because the old value is the same as the new one. This causes
the CPU stay on the base frequency. Update max_freq_req (and
min_freq_req of course) in cpufreq_online() will solve this problem.
