Sort admissible frequencies #15

Closed Neraste closed 8 years ago

Neraste commented 9 years ago

If the frequencies in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies are stored in reverse order (i.e.: from the smallest to the largest, as in my ARM box), temp_throttle has an awkward behaviour, increasing CPU frequency at critical temperature.

This modification sorts available frequencies from the largest to the smallest. Successfully tested in ARM environment.

Fascinating discovery. It would have never crossed my mind that such a possibility would even exist. Perhaps this may also reveal some kind of kernel bug. Regardless, I will be happy to implement this patch. Please allow me some time to review and test it a bit more extensively. Thanks for the submission.

Hi Neraste. Finally I have gotten time to implement your solution. Please check the "testing" branch to see the implementation. Your help is welcome anytime. Thank you again. :)
