On systems that initialize the intel_pstate driver with the performance
governor, and then switch to the powersave governor will not transition to
lower cpu frequencies until /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/min_perf_pct
is set to a low value.
The behavior of governor switching changed after commit a04759924e25
("[cpufreq] intel_pstate: honor user space min_perf_pct override on
resume"). The commit introduced tracking of performance percentage
changes via sysfs in order to restore userspace changes during
suspend/resume. The problem occurs because the global values of the newly
introduced max_sysfs_pct and min_sysfs_pct are not lowered on the governor
change and this causes the powersave governor to inherit the performance
governor's settings.
A simple change would have been to reset max_sysfs_pct to 100 and
min_sysfs_pct to 0 on a governor change, which fixes the problem with
governor switching. However, since we cannot break userspace[1] the fix
is now to give each governor its own limits storage area so that governor
specific changes are tracked.
I successfully tested this by booting with both the performance governor
and the powersave governor by default, and switching between the two
governors (while monitoring /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/ values,
and looking at the output of cpupower frequency-info). Suspend/Resume
testing was performed by Doug Smythies.
[1] Systems which suspend/resume using the unmaintained pm-utils package
will always transition to the performance governor before the suspend and
after the resume. This means a system using the powersave governor will
go from powersave to performance, then suspend/resume, performance to
powersave. The simple change during governor changes would have been
overwritten when the governor changed before and after the suspend/resume.
I have submitted https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1271225
against Fedora to remove the 94cpufreq file that causes the problem. It
should be noted that pm-utils is obsoleted with newer versions of systemd.
