[ Upstream commit 1517176906 ]
When applying the policy min/max limits, the requested frequency is
simply clamped to not be out of range. It means, however, if one of the
boundaries isn't an available frequency, the frequency resolution can
return a value out of those limits, depending on the relation used.
e.g. freq{0,1,2} being available frequencies.
freq0 policy->min freq1 policy->max freq2
| | | | |
17kHz 18kHz 19kHz 20kHz 21kHz
__resolve_freq(21kHz, CPUFREQ_RELATION_L) -> 21kHz (out of bounds)
__resolve_freq(17kHz, CPUFREQ_RELATION_H) -> 17kHz (out of bounds)
If, during the policy init, we resolve the requested min/max to existing
frequencies, we ensure that any CPUFREQ_RELATION_* would resolve to a
frequency which is inside the policy min/max range.
Making the policy limits rigid helps to introduce the inefficient
frequencies support. Resolving an inefficient frequency to an efficient
one should not transgress policy->max (which can be set for thermal
reason) and having a value we can trust simplify this comparison.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
