Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: skip loading acpi_cpufreq after intel_pstate
Date: Thu, 19 Sep 2013 22:26:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1379654772-10700-1-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org> (raw)

If the hw support intel_pstate and acpi_cpufreq, intel_pstate will
get loaded at first.

acpi_cpufreq_init will call acpi_cpufreq_early_init()
and it allocate perf data and init those perf data in ACPI core, (that
will go over all cpus).
but late it will free them as cpufreq_register_driver(acpi_cpufreq) will
return fail as init_pstate already take over before.

Use cpufreq_get_current_driver() to check if we can skip the
acpi_cpufreq loading.

Also there is racing in
	__acpi_processor_start
		 ==> acpi_processor_load_module
			 ==> request_module_nowait/requested = 1
before first pr path to have requested set, second cpu would request again.
that will cause acpi_cpufreq_early_init to be called in parallel.
that is cause for intermittent crashes.

So add mutex to protect it.
