Subject: Re: Using nr_cpus breaks no_turbo setting of pstate driver
Hi Rishabh,
I think this is because of request of SMT and the the following CPUID
flag is set to false.
# cpuid -1 -l 6 | grep ignoring
ignoring idle logical processor HWP req = false
The way CPUs are numbered, the SMT starts at number 24. So, nr_cpus=24
didn't bring up any SMT for driver to control.
The default power up MSR_HWP_REQ.max is 0xFF, this will also play role
in resolving the max frequency. Here driver is disabling turbo by
controlling MSR_HWP_REQ.max.
If you want to disable turbo here with reduced nr_cpus, you can set bit
38 of MSR 0x1a0 using msr tools.
Thanks,
Srinivas
