Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: powernow-k8: Remove bogus smp_processor_id() usage
Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2012 19:29:25 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.LFD.2.02.1210271927170.2756@ionos> (raw)

commit 6889125b (cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate
the kworker to another CPU) has a broken optimization of calling
powernowk8_target_fn() directly from powernowk8_target() which
results in the following splat:

This is fully preemptible non cpu bound context though the comment in the
code says:

	 * Must run on @pol->cpu.  cpufreq core is responsible for ensuring
	 * that we're bound to the current CPU and pol->cpu stays online.

The core only guarantees that pol->cpu stays online, but it has no way
to bind the thread and this needs to be fully preemptible context as
powernowk8_target_fn() calls functions which might sleep.

So the correct solution is to always go through work_on_cpu().
