Subject: [PATCH V5 2/6] cpufreq: Call __cpufreq_governor() with policy->rwsem held
The cpufreq core code is not consistent with respect to invoking
__cpufreq_governor() under policy->rwsem.
Changing all code to always hold policy->rwsem around
__cpufreq_governor() invocations will allow us to remove
cpufreq_governor_lock, that is used today because we can't guarantee
that __cpufreq_governor() isn't executed in parallel.
We should also ensure that the lock is held across state changes to the
governors.
For example, while adding a CPU to the policy on cpu-online path, we
need to stop the governor, change policy->cpus, start the governor and
then refresh its limits. The complete sequence must be guaranteed to
execute without any concurrent races. And that can be achieved using
policy->rwsem around these use cases.
Also note that, after this patch cpufreq_driver->stop_cpu() and ->exit()
will get called while policy->rwsem is held, which wasn't the case
earlier. That shouldn't have any side effects though.
