cpufreq: serialize calls to __cpufreq_governor()
We can't take a big lock around __cpufreq_governor() as this causes
recursive locking for some cases. But calls to this routine must be
serialized for every policy. Otherwise we can see some unpredictable
events.
For example, consider following scenario:
__cpufreq_remove_dev()
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
cpufreq_governor_dbs()
case CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP:
mutex_destroy(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex)
cpu_cdbs->cur_policy = NULL;
<PREEMPT>
store()
__cpufreq_set_policy()
__cpufreq_governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
policy->governor->governor(policy, CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS);
case CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS:
mutex_lock(&cpu_cdbs->timer_mutex); <-- Warning (destroyed mutex)
if (policy->max < cpu_cdbs->cur_policy->cur) <- cur_policy == NULL
And so store() will eventually result in a crash if cur_policy is
NULL at this point.
Introduce an additional variable which would guarantee serialization
here.
