[PATCH 3.13 118/172] intel_pstate: Use LFM bus ratio as min ratio/P state

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

 



3.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dirk Brandewie <dirk.j.brandewie@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 4042e7570cff740460b75c6fc604c629621d3dd2 upstream.

LFM (max efficiency ratio) is the max frequency at minimum voltage
supported by the processor.  Using LFM as the minimum P state
increases performmance without affecting power. By not using P states
below LFM we avoid using P states that are less power efficient.
