      cpufreq: Allow freq_table to be obtained for offline CPUs · 5a31d594
      Viresh Kumar authored
      Users of freq table may want to access it for any CPU from
      policy->related_cpus mask. One such user is cpu-cooling layer. It gets a
      list of 'clip_cpus' (equivalent to policy->related_cpus) during
      registration and tries to get freq_table for the first CPU of this mask.
      
      If the CPU, for which it tries to fetch freq_table, is offline,
      cpufreq_frequency_get_table() fails. This happens because it relies on
      cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() for its functioning which returns policy only for
      online CPUs.
      
      The fix is to access the policy data structure for the given CPU
      directly (which also returns a valid policy for offline CPUs), but the
      policy itself has to be active (meaning that at least one CPU using it
      is online) for the frequency table to be returned.
      
      Because we will be using 'cpufreq_cpu_data' now, which is internal to
      the cpufreq core, move cpufreq_frequency_get_table() to cpufreq.c.

      cpufreq: Initialize the governor again while restoring policy · 35afd02e
      Viresh Kumar authored
      When all CPUs of a policy are hot-unplugged, we EXIT the governor but
      don't mark policy->governor as NULL. This was done in order to keep last
      used governor's information intact in sysfs, while the CPUs are offline.
      
      But we also need to clear policy->governor when restoring the policy.
      
      Because policy->governor still points to the last governor while policy
      is restored, following sequence of event happens:
       - cpufreq_init_policy() called while restoring policy
       - find_governor() matches last_governor string for present governors and
         returns last used governor's pointer, say ondemand. policy->governor
         already has the same address, unless the governor was removed in
         between.
       - cpufreq_set_policy() is called with both old/new policies governor set
         as ondemand.
       - Because governors matched, we skip governor initialization and return
         after calling __cpufreq_governor(CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS). Because the
         governor wasn't initialized for this policy, it returned -EBUSY.
       - cpufreq_init_policy() exits the policy on this error, but doesn't
         destroy it properly (should be fixed separately).
       - And so we enter a scenario where the policy isn't completely
         initialized but used.
      
      Fix this by setting policy->governor to NULL while restoring the policy.

      bluetooth: fix list handling · 9b284cbd
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit 835a6a2f ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning")
      thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing
      out the list pointers and removed it.
      
      But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL
      pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just
      broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on
      a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further).
      
      So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling
      (which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to
      initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized
      implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc())
      
      This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong
      An.
      
      [ I would normally expect to get this through the bt tree, but I'm going
        to release -rc1, so I'm just committing this directly   - Linus ]
