From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Henry Willard Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: governor: Protect cpufreq governor_data Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2018 17:01:02 -0700 Message-ID: <1534291262-4207-1-git-send-email-henry.willard@oracle.com> Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: rjw@rjwysocki.net, viresh.kumar@linaro.org Cc: linux-pm@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, henry.willard@oracle.com List-Id: linux-pm@vger.kernel.org If cppc_cpufreq.ko is deleted at the same time that tuned-adm is changing profiles, there is a small chance that a race can occur between cpufreq_dbs_governor_exit() and cpufreq_dbs_governor_limits() resulting in a system failure when the latter tries to use policy->governor_data that has been freed by the former. This patch uses gov_dbs_data_mutex to synchronize access.
