Currently, the governor calculates the next frequency, set the current CPU
frequency (policy->cur). It also assumes the current CPU frequency doesn't
change if the next frequency isn't calculated again and hence caches the
"current frequency".
However, this isn't true when CPU min/max frequency limits are changed. So,
there's room for the CPU frequency to get stuck at the wrong level if the
calculated next frequency doesn't change across multiple limits updates.
Fix this by updating the cached "current frequency" when limits changes the
current CPU frequency.

We wouldn't allow locking here until the time we can :)

Did you miss the following part which is after the closing } here ?
sg_policy->need_freq_update = true;
As this should already take care of the problem you are worried about. Or did I
misunderstood your problem completely ?

Yup, I did. Thanks! Ignore patch please.

Actually, can you clarify why you can't allow locking here?

Because we want this to be quick and there is no need of locking here
as this is getting used only by one CPU. Nothing else :)
