acpi_pad: fix power_saving thread deadlock
The acpi_pad driver can get stuck in destroy_power_saving_task() waiting for kthread_stop() to stop a power_saving thread. The problem is that the isolated_cpus_lock mutex is owned when destroy_power_saving_task() calls kthread_stop(), which waits for a power_saving thread to end, and the power_saving thread tries to acquire the isolated_cpus_lock when it calls round_robin_cpu(). This patch fixes the issue by making round_robin_cpu() use its own mutex. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42981 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Stuart Hayes <Stuart_Hayes@Dell.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
