When the task sleeps, it removes its max utilization clamp from its CPU.
However, the blocked utilization on that CPU can be higher than the max
clamp value enforced while the task was running. This allows undesired
CPU frequency increases while a CPU is idle, for example, when another
CPU on the same frequency domain triggers a frequency update, since
schedutil can now see the full not clamped blocked utilization of the
idle CPU.

Fix this by using
  uclamp_rq_dec_id(p, rq, UCLAMP_MAX)
    uclamp_rq_update(rq, UCLAMP_MAX, clamp_value)
to detect when a CPU has no more RUNNABLE clamped tasks and to flag this
condition.

Don't track any minimum utilization clamps since an idle CPU never
requires a minimum frequency. The decay of the blocked utilization is
good enough to reduce the CPU frequency.

That's a very complicated way or writing: return 0, right?

Why do we care? That is, what is this comment trying to tell us.

Right, the code is clear enough, I'll remove this comment.

In my mind it's just a simple way to hardcode values in just one place.

In the current implementation uclamp_none(UCLAMP_MIN) is 0 and the
compiler is not in trubles to inline a 0 there.

Is it really so disgusting ?

Not disguisting per se, just complicated. It had me go back and check
wth uclamp_none() did again.

Yes, I see... every time I read it I just consider that uclamp_none()
it's just returning whatever is (or will be) the "non clamped" value
for the specified clamp index.

If it's ok with you, I would keep the code above as it is now.

It would be probably even clearer if rq->uclamp_flags &=
~UCLAMP_FLAG_IDLE is done from inside uclamp_rq_inc after
uclamp_rq_inc_id for both clamps is called.

Good point! I'll move it there to have something like:

---8<---
static inline void uclamp_rq_inc(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *p)
{
	unsigned int clamp_id;

	if (unlikely(!p->sched_class->uclamp_enabled))
		return;

	for (clamp_id = 0; clamp_id < UCLAMP_CNT; ++clamp_id)
		uclamp_rq_inc_id(p, rq, clamp_id);

	/* Reset clamp holding when we have at least one RUNNABLE task */
	if (rq->uclamp_flags & UCLAMP_FLAG_IDLE)
		rq->uclamp_flags &= ~UCLAMP_FLAG_IDLE;
}
---8<---
