cpuspeed does not reset MIN/MAX values when config file is emptied
Last modified: 2010-07-26 22:21:20 EDT
Created attachment 433207 [details] patch for /etc/init.d/cpuspeed Description of problem: When MIN_SPEED (resp. MAX_SPEED) is set in /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed, and then removed, /etc/init.d/cpuspeed does not reset the value to the CPU minimum (resp. maximum) frequency. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cpuspeed-1.5-13.fc13.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. check CPU frequency using cat /proc/cpuinfo 1. Set MIN_SPEED in /etc/sysconfig/cpuspeed to a suitable value superior to the CPU's minimum frequency 2. restart cpuspeed 3. Unset MIN_SPEED (restore configuration file) 4. restart cpuspeed 5. check CPU frequency using cat /proc/cpuinfo Actual results: CPU frequency in step 5 is equal to the MIN_SPEED set at step 1. Expected results: CPU frequency in steps 0 and 5 are identical. Additional info: This is because the cpuspeed script does not reset the values when the {MIN_SPEED,MAX_SPEED} variables are empty. A (crude) patch to do that is attached.
cpuspeed-1.5-14.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/cpuspeed-1.5-14.fc13
Thank you for the patch. This should now be fixed in 1:1.5-14 in both Fedora 13 and Rawhide.
Petr, You are welcome. The koji build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=184831 fixes the bug on my Athlon X2. I suppose bodhi will close this bug once the package is pushed to updates.

Yes, it does so once the maximum positive karma (three in this case) is reached or certain amount of time passes.
