SubjectRe: [REGRESSION] sudden cpu hogging in kernel 3.2 rc-series
Hi Mike,

thanks for your reply! I didn't set any polling explicitly.

My boot params are:
intel_iommu=off pcie_aspm=force i915.powersave=1 i915.i915_enable_rc6=1

and in the cpufrequtils startup daemon the only parameter set is:
# Options when starting cpufreq (given to the `cpufreq-set` program)
START_OPTS="--governor ondemand"

egrep "IDLE|GOV" .config yields:

CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_IDLE_WAIT=y
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_DEFAULT_IDLE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_ONDEMAND=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_CONSERVATIVE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE=y
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y
CONFIG_CPU_IDLE_GOV_LADDER=y
CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=y
# CONFIG_I7300_IDLE is not set

Any advice?

Thanks and Regards
Nic
