Package: powersaved
Version: 0.14.0-8
Severity: normal
I've got MAX_CPUS_ONLINE=1 in scheme_powersave, and I managed to crash
the kernel lastnight when rapidly plugging and unplugging power to my
laptop[1] (on timescales of a second or so). I have no logs because
it was a very hard crash (alt-sysrq S-U-B didn't do anything), so
can't prove it was because the number of CPUs was changing before
things settled down, but it seems reasonable. I wonder if powersaved
should somehow work out things have settled before trying to change
the state again? 'course, this is really a kernel bug (good luck
finding the real cause of it though), but a (configurable?) timeout in
powersave wouldn't hurt.
