Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] cpufreq: amd-pstate: Restore previous mode when changing driver mode fails
Date: Thu,  1 Oct 2026 15:22:52 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261001202254.1679976-1-superm1@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Mario Limonciello <mario.limonciello@amd.com>

amd_pstate_change_driver_mode() unregisters the currently active driver
before registering the requested mode.  If amd_pstate_register_driver()
fails for the new mode, the function returns the error without restoring
anything, leaving the system with no cpufreq scaling driver at all until
a valid mode is manually re-selected.

Remember the mode that was active before the transition and, if
registering the requested mode fails, register the previous mode again so
the system keeps a working scaling driver.  The original error is still
returned to the caller so the sysfs write reports the failure.

Closes: https://sashiko.dev/#/bug/linux-5b138ddb-c88b-4f82-8a2d-f39446b625d4
