The cpufreq policy's frequency limits (min/max) can get changed at any point of time, while schedutil is trying to update the next frequency. Though the schedutil governor has necessary locking and support in place to make sure we don't miss any of those updates, there is a corner case where the governor will find that the CPU is already running at the desired frequency and so may skip an update. For example, consider that the CPU can run at 1 GHz, 1.2 GHz and 1.4 GHz and is running at 1 GHz currently. Schedutil tries to update the frequency to 1.2 GHz, during this time the policy limits get changed as policy->min = 1.4 GHz. As schedutil (and cpufreq core) does clamp the frequency at various instances, we will eventually set the frequency to 1.4 GHz, while we will save 1.2 GHz in sg_policy->next_freq. Now lets say the policy limits get changed back at this time with policy->min as 1 GHz. The next time schedutil is invoked by the scheduler, we will reevaluate the next frequency (because need_freq_update will get set due to limits change event) and lets say we want to set the frequency to 1.2 GHz again. At this point sugov_update_next_freq() will find the next_freq == current_freq and will abort the update, while the CPU actually runs at 1.4 GHz. Until now need_freq_update was used as a flag to indicate that the policy's frequency limits have changed, and that we should consider the new limits while reevaluating the next frequency. This patch fixes the above mentioned issue by extending the purpose of the need_freq_update flag. If this flag is set now, the schedutil governor will not try to abort a frequency change even if next_freq == current_freq. As similar behavior is required in the case of CPUFREQ_NEED_UPDATE_LIMITS flag as well, need_freq_update will never be set to false if that flag is set for the driver. We also don't need to consider the need_freq_update flag in sugov_update_single() anymore to handle the special case of busy CPU, as we won't abort a frequency update anymore.
