However, the current implementation is still enforcing a frequency switch rate limiting when these tasks are running. This is potentially working against the goal to switch to the maximum OPP when RT tasks are running. In certain unfortunate cases it can also happen that a RT task almost completes its activation at a lower OPP. This patch overrides on purpose the rate limiting configuration to better serve RT/DL tasks. As long as a frequency scaling operation is not in progress, a frequency switch is always authorized when running in "rt_mode", i.e. the current task in a CPU belongs to the RT/DL class.
