Hi,

I wanted to know if the ondemand governor scales down the frequency to
a minimum when the load comes below up_threshold?

I understand that

1) Every now and then, the governor work queue runs and checks for
"load" in percentage.

    If load > 95 ; it bumps the frequency to maximum;

    ie. if the idle time is less than 5% ; the cpu will run at maximum


2) If load < 90% ; it bumps the frequency down little bit;

    It continues to do this till minimum; So the rate of decrease of
frequency to minimum is very slow;

   So, the frequency decrease to minimum will take a long time to
reach minimum (depends on sampling time).




Is this correct.
