* Fix spam error message when setting energy_performance_preference The 'intel_pstate' driver does not allow the EPP to be set to anything but 'performance' when the scaling governor is set to 'performance', previously auto-cpufreq when the scaling-governor was set to 'performance' tried to set the EPP to 'balance-performance' which caused a spam of write error messages in journalctl in system with 'intel_pstate' drivers. This is an intended behavior, since according to the [kernel documentation](https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/pm/intel_pstate.html#hwp-performance) when HWP is enabled[(which is enabled by default during boot with supported processors)](https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/pm/intel_pstate.html#active-mode-with-hwp) and scaling governor is set to performance the processor’s internal P-state selection logic is expected to focus entirely on performance. And this will override the EPP setting and reject any value different from 0 (“performance”). This commit just changes the 'balance-performance' EPP preference in set_performance() to 'performance'. Which fixes the spam issue. * Only applies the spam error message fix for intel_pstate drivers * Comparing the content of the file intel_pstate/staus to make sure the condition only applies when "active" * Override custom config EPP to "performance" for intel_pstate driver |
