[PATCH] cpufreq: fix conservative/ondemand behaviour with ignore_nice_load

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Remove conversion of nice load to microseconds which caused addition
of times measured in different units and thus unreasonable behaviour
with both governors.
