It turns out that cpuX will stay on the base frequency after performing these operations: 1. boost all cpus: echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost 2. offline the cpu: echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online 3. deboost all cpus: echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost 4. online the cpu: echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online 5. boost all cpus again: echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost This is because max_freq_req of the policy is not updated during the online process, and the value of max_freq_req before the last offline is retained. When the CPU is boosted again, freq_qos_update_request() will do nothing because the old value is the same as the new one. This causes the CPU stay on the base frequency. Update max_freq_req (and min_freq_req of course) in cpufreq_online() will solve this problem.
