Mathew, thank you for looking into this. My machine supports ondemand
and the problem is not in powerd at all. The problem is in
use_ondemand() function
In start function you have
if use_ondemand
then
log_end_msg 0
return 0
fi
So once use_ondemand is called
use_ondemand() {
for x in /sys/devices/system/cpu/*; do
echo -n ondemand >$x/cpufreq/scaling_governor;
status=$?
if [ $status != 0 ]; then
return $status
fi
done
return 0
}
use_ondemand() returns zero since it can write into scaling_governor BUT
"if use_ondemand" will stop executing the script since it has return
statement. You just need to change it to "if ! use_ondemand" or just
remove that statement at all.
Hope this helps
