Cause:
Newer Intel CPUs default to the intel_pstate driver.
Consequence:
The instel_pstate driver moves the control to the CPU. It doesn't directly control the stepping, it only sets the policy requirements. As a consequence there is no ondemand governor and there are different knobs in comparison to the acpi_cpufreq driver. Previously tuned knows only the cpufreq interface.
Fix:
Support for intel_pstate driver was added into Tuned.
Result:
Tuned now detects the intel_pstate driver if in use, use it's knobs and doesn't try to set the unsupported governors.

I can see this patch in tuned-2.3.0-6.el7.noarch. It should be working but I cannot test this deeper. Marking verified. This request was resolved in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0. Contact your manager or support representative in case you have further questions about the request. |
