[PATCH 00/15] thermal: sysfs: add locking

Hello,

Several thermal sysfs entries are currently being called
from userspace without locking. Data and calls to ops
are accessed deliberated without any care for locking.

This patch series attempts to fix this.

Now that sysfs handlers are on the same place it is easier
to visualize this issue and fix it. The strategy is essentially
to lock any access. Also, functions in thermal core and thermal
helpers are assumed to do the proper locking already.

This patch series is based on the thermal core reorganization.

There is no change in the ABI to userspace. The difference
is that now serialization to data will be done.

For your consideration, I am also adding this to this branch:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/evalenti/linux-soc-thermal sysfs_locking

Comments are welcome.

BR,
