Currently, ondemand calculates the target frequency proportional to load using the formula: Target frequency = C * load where C = policy->cpuinfo.max_freq / 100 Though, in many cases, the minimum available frequency is pretty high and the above calculation introduces a dead band from load 0 to 100 * policy->cpuinfo.min_freq / policy->cpuinfo.max_freq where the target frequency is always calculated to less than policy->cpuinfo.min_freq and the minimum frequency is selected. For example: on Intel i7-3770 @ 3.4GHz the policy->cpuinfo.min_freq = 1600000 and the policy->cpuinfo.max_freq = 3400000 (without turbo). Thus, the CPU starts to scale up at a load above 47. On quad core 1500MHz Krait the policy->cpuinfo.min_freq = 384000 and the policy->cpuinfo.max_freq = 1512000. Thus, the CPU starts to scale at load above 25. Change the calculation of target frequency to eliminate the above effect using the formula: Target frequency = A + B * load where A = policy->cpuinfo.min_freq and B = (policy->cpuinfo.max_freq - policy->cpuinfo->min_freq) / 100 This will map load values 0 to 100 linearly to cpuinfo.min_freq to cpuinfo.max_freq. Also, use the CPUFREQ_RELATION_C in __cpufreq_driver_target to select the closest frequency in frequency_table. This is necessary to avoid selection of minimum frequency only when load equals to 0. It will also help for selection of frequencies using a more 'fair' criterion. Tables below show the difference in selected frequency for specific values of load without and with this patch.

Currently we shift right aperf and mperf variables by FRAC_BITS to prevent overflow when we convert them to fix point numbers (shift left by FRAC_BITS). But this is not necessary, because we actually use delta aperf and mperf which are much less than APERF and MPERF values. So, use the unmodified APERF and MPERF values in calculation. This also adds 8 bits in precision, although the gain is insignificant.

According to Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures SDM, Volume 3, Chapter 14.2, "Software needs to exercise care to avoid delays between the two RDMSRs (for example interrupts)". So, disable interrupts during reading MSRs IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF. This should increase the accuracy of the calculations.

xfstests generic/127 detected this problem. With commit 7fc34a62, now fsync will only flush data within the passed range. This is the cause of the above problem, -- btrfs's fsync has a stage called 'sync log' which will wait for all the ordered extents it've recorded to finish. In xfstests/generic/127, with mixed operations such as truncate, fallocate, punch hole, and mapwrite, we get some pre-allocated extents, and mapwrite will mmap, and then msync. And I find that msync will wait for quite a long time (about 20s in my case), thanks to ftrace, it turns out that the previous fallocate calls 'btrfs_wait_ordered_range()' to flush dirty pages, but as the range of dirty pages may be larger than 'btrfs_wait_ordered_range()' wants, there can be some ordered extents created but not getting corresponding pages flushed, then they're left in memory until we fsync which runs into the stage 'sync log', and fsync will just wait for the system writeback thread to flush those pages and get ordered extents finished, so the latency is inevitable. This adds a flush similar to btrfs_start_ordered_extent() in btrfs_wait_logged_extents() to fix that.
