ACPI: thermal: Do not call acpi_thermal_check() directly
Calling acpi_thermal_check() from acpi_thermal_notify() directly is problematic if _TMP triggers Notify () on the thermal zone for which it has been evaluated (which happens on some systems), because it causes a new acpi_thermal_notify() invocation to be queued up every time and if that takes place too often, an indefinite number of pending work items may accumulate in kacpi_notify_wq over time. Besides, it is not really useful to queue up a new invocation of acpi_thermal_check() if one of them is pending already. For these reasons, rework acpi_thermal_notify() to queue up a thermal check instead of calling acpi_thermal_check() directly and only allow one thermal check to be pending at a time. Moreover, only allow one acpi_thermal_check_fn() instance at a time to run thermal_zone_device_update() for one thermal zone and make it return early if it sees other instances running for the same thermal zone. While at it, fold acpi_thermal_check() into acpi_thermal_check_fn(), as it is only called from there after the other changes made here. [This issue appears to have been exposed by commit 6d25be57 ("sched/core, workqueues: Distangle worker accounting from rq lock"), but it is unclear why it was not visible earlier.] BugLink: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208877Reported-by: Stephen Berman <stephen.berman@gmx.net> Diagnosed-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
