The schedutil driver sets sg_policy->next_freq to UINT_MAX on certain occasions to discard the cached value of next freq: - In sugov_start(), when the schedutil governor is started for a group of CPUs. - And whenever we need to force a freq update before rate-limit duration, which happens when: - there is an update in cpufreq policy limits. - Or when the utilization of DL scheduling class increases. In return, get_next_freq() doesn't return a cached next_freq value but recalculates the next frequency instead. But having special meaning for a particular value of frequency makes the code less readable and error prone. We recently fixed a bug where the UINT_MAX value was considered as valid frequency in sugov_update_single(). All we need is a flag which can be used to discard the value of sg_policy->next_freq and we already have need_freq_update for that. Lets reuse it instead of setting next_freq to UINT_MAX.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
