From 4e97b631f24c927b2302368f4f83efbba82076ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Viresh Kumar Date: Tue, 4 Mar 2014 11:44:01 +0800 Subject: cpufreq: Initialize governor for a new policy under policy->rwsem policy->rwsem is used to lock access to all parts of code modifying struct cpufreq_policy, but it's not used on a new policy created by __cpufreq_add_dev(). Because of that, if cpufreq_update_policy() is called in a tight loop on one CPU in parallel with offline/online of another CPU, then the following crash can be triggered: Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000020 pgd = c0003000 [00000020] *pgd=80000000004003, *pmd=00000000 Internal error: Oops: 206 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM PC is at __cpufreq_governor+0x10/0x1ac LR is at cpufreq_update_policy+0x114/0x150 ---[ end trace f23a8defea6cd706 ]--- Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception CPU0: stopping CPU: 0 PID: 7136 Comm: mpdecision Tainted: G D W 3.10.0-gd727407-00074-g979ede8 #396 [] (notifier_call_chain+0x40/0x68) from [] (__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x40/0x58) [] (__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x40/0x58) from [] (blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x14/0x1c) [] (blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x14/0x1c) from [] (cpufreq_set_policy+0xd4/0x2b8) [] (cpufreq_set_policy+0xd4/0x2b8) from [] (cpufreq_init_policy+0x30/0x98) [] (cpufreq_init_policy+0x30/0x98) from [] (__cpufreq_add_dev.isra.17+0x4dc/0x7a4) [] (__cpufreq_add_dev.isra.17+0x4dc/0x7a4) from [] (cpufreq_cpu_callback+0x58/0x84) [] (cpufreq_cpu_callback+0x58/0x84) from [] (notifier_call_chain+0x40/0x68) [] (notifier_call_chain+0x40/0x68) from [] (__cpu_notify+0x28/0x44) [] (__cpu_notify+0x28/0x44) from [] (_cpu_up+0xf4/0x1dc) [] (_cpu_up+0xf4/0x1dc) from [] (cpu_up+0x5c/0x78) [] (cpu_up+0x5c/0x78) from [] (store_online+0x44/0x74) [] (store_online+0x44/0x74) from [] (sysfs_write_file+0x108/0x14c) [] (sysfs_write_file+0x108/0x14c) from [] (vfs_write+0xd0/0x180) [] (vfs_write+0xd0/0x180) from [] (SyS_write+0x38/0x68) [] (SyS_write+0x38/0x68) from [] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x30) Fix that by taking locks at appropriate places in __cpufreq_add_dev() as well.
