It should not be anything other than capacity reduction due to thermal events that should be provided. > Also, __max_cap->max_capacity just save in a new per cpu struct the > return of arch_scale_cpu_capacity but this doesn't give us real > benefit I agree. I will change the struct into a single variable delta and initialize it to 0. populate_max_capacity_info need not be there. I will have update_maxcap_capacity calculate the delta with arch_scale_cpu_capacity and store it into a per cpu variable.
