From 395913d0b1db37092ea3d9d69b832183b1dd84c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Desnoyers Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 13:17:31 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] [CPUFREQ] remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site) remove rwsem lock from CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP call (second call site) commit 42a06f2166f2f6f7bf04f32b4e823eacdceafdc9 Missed a call site for CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP to remove the rwlock taken around the teardown. To make a long story short, the rwlock write-lock causes a circular dependency with cancel_delayed_work_sync(), because the timer handler takes the read lock. Note that all callers to __cpufreq_set_policy are taking the rwsem. All sysfs callers (writers) hold the write rwsem at the earliest sysfs calling stage. However, the rwlock write-lock is not needed upon governor stop.
