Subject[PATCH v2 3/3] cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix intel_pstate_verify_policy()
Date
From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The code added to intel_pstate_verify_policy() by commit 1443ebbacfd7
(cpufreq: intel_pstate: Fix sysfs limits enforcement for performance
policy) should use perf_limits instead of limits, because otherwise
setting global limits via sysfs may affect policies inconsistently.

For example, in the sequence of shell commands below, the
scaling_min_freq attribute for policy1 and policy2 should be
affected in the same way, because scaling_governor is set in
the same way for both of them:

# cat cpufreq/policy1/scaling_governor
powersave
# cat cpufreq/policy2/scaling_governor
powersave
# echo performance > cpufreq/policy0/scaling_governor
# echo 94 > intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
# cat cpufreq/policy0/scaling_min_freq
2914000
# cat cpufreq/policy1/scaling_min_freq
2914000
# cat cpufreq/policy2/scaling_min_freq
800000

The are affected differently, because intel_pstate_verify_policy()
is invoked with limits set to &performance_limits (left behind by
policy0) for policy1 and with limits set to &powersave_limits (left
behind by policy1) for policy2. Since perf_limits is set to the
set of limits matching the policy being updated, using it instead
of limits fixes the inconsistency.
