RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Paolo Di Napoli 2017-08-03 12:02:16 UTC
Description of problem:
If the file /var/run/tuned/ktune-cpuspeed.save is empty, /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed will be made empty upon default profile change because of the code  in file /etc/tune-profiles/functions


~~~
set_cpu_governor() {
        governor=$1

        # always patch cpuspeed configuration if exists, if it doesn't exist and is enabled,
        # explictly disable it with hint
        if [ -e $CPUSPEED_INIT ]; then
                if [ ! -e $CPUSPEED_SAVE_FILE -a -e $CPUSPEED_CFG ]; then
                        cp -p $CPUSPEED_CFG $CPUSPEED_SAVE_FILE
                        sed -e 's/^GOVERNOR=.*/GOVERNOR='$governor'/g' $CPUSPEED_SAVE_FILE > $CPUSPEED_CFG
                fi
        else
                if [ "$CPUSPEED_USE" = "1" ]; then
                        echo >&2
                        echo "Suggestion: install 'cpuspeed' package to get best tuning results." >&2
                        echo "Falling back to sysfs control." >&2
                        echo >&2
                fi

                CPUSPEED_USE="0"
        fi

restore_cpu_governor() {
        if [ -e $CPUSPEED_INIT ]; then
                if [ -e $CPUSPEED_SAVE_FILE ]; then
                        cp -fp $CPUSPEED_SAVE_FILE $CPUSPEED_CFG

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tuned-0.2.19-18.el6.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start tuned
2. switch to profile enterprise-storage: # tuned-adm profile enterprise-storage
3. make file /var/run/tuned/ktune-cpuspeed.save empty
4. switch to profile throughput-performance: # tuned-adm-profile throughput-performance
5. verify that /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed is empty

Actual results:
/etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed is empty

Expected results:
the /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed file should not be emptied if /var/run/tuned/ktune-cpuspeed.save is empty

Comment 2 Tomáš Hozza 2017-09-06 09:49:22 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 transitioned to the Production 3 Phase on May 10, 2017.  During the Production 3 Phase, Critical impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available.

The official life cycle policy can be reviewed here:
http://redhat.com/rhel/lifecycle

This issue does not appear to meet the inclusion criteria for the Production Phase 3 and will be marked as CLOSED/WONTFIX. If this remains a critical requirement, please contact Red Hat Customer Support to request a re-evaluation of the issue, citing a clear business justification.  Red Hat Customer Support can be contacted via the Red Hat Customer Portal at the following URL:
