I wouldn't bet my 10 cents on that :). Also I am not sure if people added a work there just for fun, there must be some constraints and we might see crashes or hangs.. But yeah, maybe we can try that as well.. I was thinking about this earlier but never shared as I thought it might not be worth. Logs shared by $reporter of this problem clears that cpufreq and governors did all good, more or less. And it was the target_index() which never came back.. I will try having a closer look again though. $reporter also reported that offline/online works fine with performance gov but switching back to ondemand again crashes it. Which makes me believe that cpufreq core is doing everything correctly and there is some problem while switching freq after offline/online. @Reporter (sorry we don't know your name :( ), Can you please try this? Keep the prints as you shared in last hang pic. Set governor to userspace, set any cpu to min freq, offline/online cpu1, change freq to any freq (and later max freq if earlier one works) and see how things behave.. I am quite sure it wouldn't last. If you still see a hang you might want to do this: - Add many debug prints in your target_index() path (as gov is userspace you wouldn't see them again and again). - And see where exactly you hang .. - I am quite sure work will get scheduled and so try adding as many debug prints as possible on the first go only.
