When the current uncore frequency can't be read, don't create attribute "current_freq_khz" as any read will fail later. Some user space applications like turbostat fail to continue with the failure. So, check error during attribute creation. Fixes: 414eef27283a ("platform/x86/intel/uncore-freq: Display uncore current frequency") Signed-off-by: Srinivas Pandruvada <srinivas.pandruvada@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Added fixes tag which added current_freq_khz. But after this tag there is reorg of code, so need manual backport for some versions. I will separately submit to stable trees after merge. .../x86/intel/uncore-frequency/uncore-frequency-common.c | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/platform/x86/intel/uncore-frequency/uncore-frequency-common.c b/drivers/platform/x86/intel/uncore-frequency/uncore-frequency-common.c index 1152deaa0078..33ab207493e3 100644 --- a/drivers/platform/x86/intel/uncore-frequency/uncore-frequency-common.c +++ b/drivers/platform/x86/intel/uncore-frequency/uncore-frequency-common.c @@ -176,7 +176,7 @@ show_uncore_data(initial_max_freq_khz); static int create_attr_group(struct uncore_data *data, char *name) { - int ret, index = 0; + int ret, freq, index = 0; init_attribute_rw(max_freq_khz); init_attribute_rw(min_freq_khz); @@ -197,7 +197,11 @@ static int create_attr_group(struct uncore_data *data, char *name) data->uncore_attrs[index++] = &data->min_freq_khz_dev_attr.attr; data->uncore_attrs[index++] = &data->initial_min_freq_khz_dev_attr.attr; data->uncore_attrs[index++] = &data->initial_max_freq_khz_dev_attr.attr; - data->uncore_attrs[index++] = &data->current_freq_khz_dev_attr.attr; + + ret = uncore_read_freq(data, &freq); + if (!ret) + data->uncore_attrs[index++] = &data->current_freq_khz_dev_attr.attr; + data->uncore_attrs[index] = NULL; data->uncore_attr_group.name = name; -- 2.41.0
