Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: Avoid a couple of races related to cpufreq_cpu_get()

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

The cpumask_test_cpu() check in cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() is sort of
pointless, because it may be racy with respect to CPU online/offline
which sets/clears the policy->cpus mask.

For this reason, it is better to reserve cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() for
the ondemand governor, which calls it for online CPUs only with CPU
online/offline locked anyway, and move the cpumask_test_cpu() up the
call chain.

Moreover, the callers of cpufreq_cpu_get() that really care about
avoiding races with CPU online/offline should better carry out that
check under policy->rwsem.
