Rafael J. Wysocki f721267b1f cpufreq: conservative: Take limits changes into account properly
commit da5e79bc70 upstream.

If the policy limits change between invocations of cs_dbs_update(),
the requested frequency value stored in dbs_info may not be updated
and the function may use a stale value of it next time.  Moreover, if
idle periods are takem into account by cs_dbs_update(), the requested
frequency value stored in dbs_info may be below the min policy limit,
which is incorrect.

To fix these problems, always update the requested frequency value
in dbs_info along with the local copy of it when the previous
requested frequency is beyond the policy limits and avoid decreasing
the requested frequency below the min policy limit when taking
idle periods into account.

Fixes: abb6627910 (cpufreq: conservative: Fix next frequency selection)
Fixes: 00bfe05889 (cpufreq: conservative: Decrease frequency faster for deferred updates)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
