In __cpufreq_remove_dev_finish(), per-cpu 'cpufreq_cpu_data' needs to be cleared before calling kobject_put(&policy->kobj) and under cpufreq_driver_lock. Otherwise, if someone else calls cpufreq_cpu_get() in parallel with it, they can obtain a non-NULL policy from that after kobject_put(&policy->kobj) was executed. Consider this case: Thread A Thread B cpufreq_cpu_get() acquire cpufreq_driver_lock read-per-cpu cpufreq_cpu_data kobject_put(&policy->kobj); kobject_get(&policy->kobj); ... per_cpu(&cpufreq_cpu_data, cpu) = NULL And this will result in a warning like this one: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 4 at include/linux/kref.h:47 kobject_get+0x41/0x50() Modules linked in: acpi_cpufreq(+) nfsd auth_rpcgss nfs_acl lockd grace sunrpc xfs libcrc32c sd_mod ixgbe igb mdio ahci hwmon ...

But the race happens when another thread puts the kobject first and updates cpufreq_cpu_data before or later. And so the first thread gets a valid policy structure and before it does kobject_get() on it, the second one has already done kobject_put(). Fix this by setting cpufreq_cpu_data to NULL before putting the kobject and that too under locks. Reported-by:Ethan Zhao <ethan.zhao@oracle.com> Reported-by:

There is no possibility of any race on updating last_index, trans_table or total_trans as these are updated only by cpufreq_stat_notifier_trans() which will be called sequentially. The only place where locking is still relevant is: cpufreq_stats_update(), which updates time_in_state and last_time. This can be called by two thread in parallel, that may result in races. The two threads being: - sysfs read of time_in_state - and frequency transition that calls cpufreq_stat_notifier_trans(). Remove locking from the first case mentioned above. Signed-off-by:

We need to call cpufreq_stats_update() to update 'time_in_state' for the last frequency. This is achieved by calling it from cpufreq_stat_notifier_trans(), which is called after frequency transition. But if we detect that the cpu's frequency haven't really changed and its a false POSTCHANGE notification, we don't really need to update time_in_state. It wouldn't cause any harm in calling cpufreq_stats_update() but we can avoid calling it here and call it when the frequency really changes. The result will be the same but more efficient.

cpufreq_stats_update() updates time_in_state and nothing else. It should ideally be updated only in two cases: - User requested for the current value of time_in_state. - We have switched states and so need to update time for the last state. Currently, we are also doing this while user asks for the transition table of frequencies. It wouldn't do any harm, but no good as well. Its useless here. Remove it. Reviewed-by:

'time_in_state' can't be NULL if 'stats' is valid. These are allocated together and only if time_in_state is allocated successfully, we update policy->stats. Signed-off-by:

Userspace is free to read value of any file from cpufreq/stats directory once they are created. __cpufreq_stats_create_table() is creating the sysfs files first and then allocating resources for them. Though it would be quite difficult to trigger the racy situation here, but for the sake of keeping sensible code lets create sysfs entries only after we are ready to go. This also does some makeup to the routine to make it look better. Reviewed-by:

CPUFREQ_UPDATE_POLICY_CPU notifications were used only from cpufreq-stats which doesn't use it anymore. Remove them. This also decrements values of other notification macros defined after CPUFREQ_UPDATE_POLICY_CPU by 1 to remove gaps. Hopefully all users are using macro's instead of direct numbers and so they wouldn't break as macro values are changed now. Reviewed-by:

All CPUs sharing a cpufreq policy share stats too. For this reason, add a stats pointer to struct cpufreq_policy and drop per-CPU variable cpufreq_stats_table used for accessing cpufreq stats so as to reduce code complexity. Reviewed-by:

It is better to pass a struct cpufreq_stats pointer to cpufreq_stats_update() instead of a CPU number, because that's all it needs. Even if we pass a cpu number to cpufreq_stats_update(), it reads the per-cpu variable to get 'stats' out of it. So we are doing these operations unnecessarily: - First getting the cpu number to pass to cpufreq_stats_update(), stat->cpu. - And then getting stats from the cpu, per_cpu(cpufreq_stats_table, cpu).

While we allocate stats, we do need to check if freq-table is present or not as we need to use it then. But while freeing stats, all we need to know is if stats holds a valid pointer value. There is no use of testing if cpufreq table is present or not. Don't check it. Reviewed-by:

__cpufreq_stats_create_table() is called from: - cpufreq notifier on creation of a new policy. Stats will always be NULL here. - cpufreq_stats_init() for all CPUs as cpufreq-stats might have been initialized after cpufreq driver. For any policy, 'stats' will be NULL for the first CPU only and will be valid for all other CPUs managed by the same policy. While we return for other CPUs, we don't return the right error value. It's not that we would fail with -EBUSY. But generally, this is what these return values mean: - EBUSY: we are busy right now, try again. And the retry attempt might be immediate. - EEXIST: We already have what you are trying to create and there is no need to create it again, and so no more tries are required. Reviewed-by:

CPUFREQ_STICKY flag is set by drivers which don't want to get unregistered even if cpufreq-core isn't able to initialize policy for any CPU. When this flag isn't set, we try to unregister the driver. To find out which CPUs are registered and which are not, we try to check per_cpu cpufreq_cpu_data for all CPUs. Because we have a list of valid policies available now, we better check if the list is empty or not instead of the 'for' loop. That will be much more efficient. Signed-off-by:

These variables are just used within adjust_jiffies() and so must be local to it. Also there is no need of a dummy routine for CONFIG_SMP case as we can take care of all that with help of macros in the same routine. It doesn't look that ugly. Signed-off-by:

We should stop cpufreq governors when we shut down the system. If we don't do this, we can end up with this deadlock: 1. cpufreq governor may be running on a CPU other than CPU0. 2. In machine_restart() we call smp_send_stop() which stops CPUs. If one of these CPUs was actively running a cpufreq governor then it may have the mutex / spinlock needed to access the main PMIC in the system (perhaps over I2C) 3. If a machine needs access to the main PMIC in order to shutdown then it will never get it since the mutex was lost when the other CPU stopped. 4. We'll hang (possibly eventually hitting the hard lockup detector). Let's avoid the problem by stopping the cpufreq governor at shutdown, which is a sensible thing to do anyway. Signed-off-by:
