Or,... we could actually make things simpler.
How's the below? I have a feq questions wrt min, mostly:
- what's the difference between policy->min and
policy->cpuinfo.min_freq; it used to be the former, the below uses
the latter.
- should we have a min_freq based value, instead of a constant; the
difference being that with this the actual boost speed depends in the
gap between min/max.
Anyway; the below converts iowait_boost to capacity scale (from kHz), it
side-steps the whole issue you guys are bickering about by limiting it
to SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE (aka. 1024) on the boost path, and then limiting
it to @max by the time we figured out we ought to use it.
And since that means we never change @max anymore; we can simplify whole
return value thing.
