Cumulative load was our initial attempt at overcoming this. It is true that this is not the best solution. We wanted the community's suggestion on how to get around this issue. What do you propose?
Shoot cpufreq in the head basically :-) We're looking at completely reworking the way we do things.
We basically want to integrate cpufreq into the scheduler and effect frequency changes from the scheduler context where possible, only reverting to schedulable context (kworker) where there is no other possibility.
