Hi,
I wanted to know if the ondemand governor scales down the frequency to a minimum when the load comes below up_threshold?
I understand that
1) Every now and then, the governor work queue runs and checks for "load" in percentage.
If load > 95 ; it bumps the frequency to maximum;
ie. if the idle time is less than 5% ; the cpu will run at maximum
2) If load < 90% ; it bumps the frequency down little bit;
It continues to do this till minimum; So the rate of decrease of frequency to minimum is very slow;
So, the frequency decrease to minimum will take a long time to reach minimum (depends on sampling time).
Is this correct.
