Hi, Removed: Pu Wen <puwen@hygon.com> On Tuesday, October 22, 2019 6:39:11 PM CEST Natarajan, Janakarajan wrote: > On 10/11/2019 2:37 PM, Natarajan, Janakarajan wrote: > > > This patchset updates cpupower to make it more accurate by removing > > the userspace to kernel transitions and read_msr initiated IPI delays. Acked-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Shuan: If you do not object, it would be great if you can schedule these to be included into Rafael's pm tree. It's a nice enhancement for these CPUs. Doing it even nicer and more generic (per cpu measures) needs further restructuring, but should not delay this any further. Thomas

I was waiting for you to Ack these before I pulled them in. I will get them in for 5.5-rc1 thanks, -- Shuah

WARNING: Missing Signed-off-by: line by nominal patch author 'Natarajan, Janakarajan <Janakarajan.Natarajan@amd.com>' There is a mismatch between your From: and Signed-off-by names? Can you fix these and resend all 4 patches. thanks, -- Shuah

That's checkpatch complaining that From: is of the format "Lastname, Firstname" while the SOB is the other way around. One could use a script which massages a mail before turning it into patch and fixes up that, among other things.
