Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: schedutil: Update last_update from sugov_set_iowait_boost()

sg_cpu->last_update is always updated right after we call
sugov_set_iowait_boost() and its better to update it from that routine
itself. This makes it more readable.

It actually belongs here, IMHO. We update other fields (util, max,
flags) before looking at iowait. Why hiding the time update into a
function dealing with only one of such fields?

Yeah, because they have bigger roles and aren't specific to iowait
boost.

But last_update is very much specific to iowait_boost only and so it
should be updated from sugov_set_iowait_boost() IMHO.

Huh, I see you point. However, I'm using it also to deal with stale CFS
util values in my patches [1]. Sure, not mainline yet, but I guess I'll
have to sort of revert your proposed change for my next version. Or
think of a better idea. :)

Thanks,

Yes, so I'd prefer to prioritize your patches.

The patch from Viresh is purely cosmetic AFAICS and it really can wait.
