cpufreq: schedutil: Reset cached_raw_freq when not in sync with next_freq
commit 07458f6a5171d97511dfbdf6ce549ed2ca0280c7 upstream.
'cached_raw_freq' is used to get the next frequency quickly but should
always be in sync with sg_policy->next_freq. There is a case where it is
not and in such cases it should be reset to avoid switching to incorrect
frequencies.
Consider this case for example:
- policy->cur is 1.2 GHz (Max)
- New request comes for 780 MHz and we store that in cached_raw_freq.
- Based on 780 MHz, we calculate the effective frequency as 800 MHz.
- We then see the CPU wasn't idle recently and choose to keep the next
freq as 1.2 GHz.
- Now we have cached_raw_freq is 780 MHz and sg_policy->next_freq is
1.2 GHz.
- Now if the utilization doesn't change in then next request, then the
next target frequency will still be 780 MHz and it will match with
cached_raw_freq. But we will choose 1.2 GHz instead of 800 MHz here.
