------- Comment #27 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-05-13 17:53 ------- Created an attachment (id=16135) --> (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=16135&action=view) Add a passive cooling limit to zones which don't have one If a thermal zone is provided with a critical temperature, then there is obviously a concern on the part of the vendor that it may overheat. Currently Linux will only attempt to do something about that if the vendor has explicitly added a passive cooling trip point. However, it's clear that allowing the system to hit the critical trip point is far from ideal - the system will immediately shut down, and data will almost certainly be lost. This patch adds a default passive cooling zone if the platform does not provide its own, with the default being to have it be 5 degrees below the critical shutoff temperature. This should avoid the kernel limiting performance unless it's genuinely likely that the hardware is about to overheat and shut down. The default temperature value can be overridden by passing the thermal.psv argument at boot or module load time. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
