Both intel_pstate_verify_policy() and intel_cpufreq_verify_policy() set policy->cpuinfo.max_freq depending on the turbo status, but the updates made by them are discarded by the core, because the policy object passed to them by the core is temporary and cpuinfo.max_freq from that object is not copied to the final policy object in cpufreq_set_policy(). However, cpufreq_set_policy() passes the temporary policy object to the ->setpolicy callback of the driver, so intel_pstate_set_policy() actually sees the policy->cpuinfo.max_freq value updated by intel_pstate_verify_policy() and not the final one. It also updates policy->max sometimes which basically has no effect after it returns, because the core discards that update. To avoid confusion, eliminate policy->cpuinfo.max_freq updates from intel_pstate_verify_policy() and intel_cpufreq_verify_policy() entirely and check the maximum frequency explicitly in intel_pstate_update_perf_limits() instead of relying on the transiently updated policy->cpuinfo.max_freq value. Moreover, move the max->policy adjustment carried out in intel_pstate_set_policy() to a separate function and call that function from the ->verify driver callbacks to ensure that it will actually be effective.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
