This should be done before the soft min/max frequencies are restored.
When we disable the "Ignore efficient frequency" flag, GuC does not
actually bring the requested freq down to RPn.

Specifically, this scenario-

- ignore efficient freq set to true
- reduce min to RPn (from efficient)
- suspend
- resume (includes GuC load, restore soft min/max, restore efficient freq)
- validate min freq has been resored to RPn

This will fail if we didn't first restore(disable, in this case) efficient
freq flag before setting the soft min frequency.
that's strange. so guc is returning the rpe when we request the min freq
during the soft config?

we could alternatively change the soft config to actually get the min
and not be tricked by this.

But also the patch below doesn't hurt.

(Although I'm still curious and want to understand exactly why
the soft min gets messed up when we don't tell guc to ignore the
efficient freq beforehand. Please help me to understand.)
The soft min does not get messed up, but GuC keeps requesting RPe even after
disabling efficient freq. (unless we manually set min freq to RPn AFTER
disabling efficient).
so it looks to me that the right solution would be to ensure that everytime that we disable the efficient freq we make sure to also set the mim freq to RPn,
no?!

Hmm, may not be applicable every time. What if someone disables efficient frequency while running a workload or with frequency fixed to 800, for example?

I'll take that back, it should not matter. GuC will not change it's request just because we switched min lower. I will resend the patch with the min setting as well.

Thanks,

Vinay.
