RHBA-2013:1153 - cpuspeed bug fix update
Synopsis
cpuspeed bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated cpuspeed packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The cpuspeed packages provide a daemon to manage the CPU frequency scaling.
This update fixes the following bug:
- The cpuspeed init script relied on the presence of the scaling_available_frequencies sysfs file to get the maximum possible scaling frequency for the system. Certain platforms did not provide the scaling_available_frequencies sysfs file, which caused the attempt to set the maximum scaling frequency to fail. With this update, the init script now reads the frequency from cpuinfo_max_speed, and setting the maximum scaling frequency now works on all platforms. (BZ#990474)
Users of cpuspeed are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
