I strongly believe that we need a full stop (.) before "Every sampling_rate",
otherwise it looks like we check for down_factor while increasing freq :)

I agree. I will do that.

Even now we aren't checking this 80% thing, right? And so in your patch we can
actually fix the patch too with the right logic of code.. And
documentation too :)

In my opinion the logic was initially correct. It was broken in the same commit that broke also sampling_down_factor.

Now we check if load < (cs_tuners.down_threshold - 10) to decrease freq.
Down threshold is 20, so we actually check the 80% idle.

I think the subtraction of 10 from down_threshold is wrong. It seems similar with ondemand but there is no logic for this in conservative. User can simply select the down_threshold and the load will be compared with user's value. No need to alter user's selection.

I will prepare a patchset for these changes.
