From 06d9e908b2248f983b186aaf569c58e1430db85d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com" Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2008 19:21:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] cpuidle: Make ladder governor honor latency requirements fully ladder governor only honored latency requirement when promoting C-states. Instead. it should check for latency requirement on each idle call, and demote to appropriate C-state when there is a latency requirement change.
