      cpufreq: Fix sysfs deadlock with concurrent hotplug/frequency switch · a9144436
      Stephen Boyd authored 
      Running one program that continuously hotplugs and replugs a cpu
concurrently with another program that continuously writes to the
scaling_setspeed node eventually deadlocks with:

=============================================
[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
3.4.0 #37 Tainted: G        W
---------------------------------------------
filemonkey/122 is trying to acquire lock:
 (s_active#13){++++.+}, at: [<c01a3d28>] sysfs_remove_dir+0x9c/0xb4

but task is already holding lock:
 (s_active#13){++++.+}, at: [<c01a22f0>] sysfs_write_file+0xe8/0x140

other info that might help us debug this:
 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0
       ----
  lock(s_active#13);
  lock(s_active#13);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

 May be due to missing lock nesting notation

[<c014b06c>] (sys_write+0x3c/0x68) from [<c000e0e0>] (ret_fast_syscall+0x0/0x3c)

This is because store() in cpufreq.c indirectly calls
kobject_get() via cpufreq_cpu_get() and is the last one to call
kobject_put() via cpufreq_cpu_put(). Sysfs code should not call
kobject_get() or kobject_put() directly (see the comment around
sysfs_schedule_callback() for more information).

Fix this deadlock by introducing two new functions:

	struct cpufreq_policy *cpufreq_cpu_get_sysfs(unsigned int cpu)
	void cpufreq_cpu_put_sysfs(struct cpufreq_policy *data)

which do the same thing as cpufreq_cpu_{get,put}() but don't call
kobject functions.

To easily trigger this deadlock you can insert an msleep() with a
reasonably large value right after the fail label at the bottom
of the store() function in cpufreq.c and then write
scaling_setspeed in one task and offline the cpu in another. The
first task will hang and be detected by the hung task detector.

      EXYNOS: bugfix on retrieving old_index from freqs.old · 53df1ad5
      Jonghwa Lee authored 
      The policy might have been changed since last call of target().
Thus, using cpufreq_frequency_table_target(), which depends on
policy to find the corresponding index from a frequency, may return
inconsistent index for freqs.old. Thus, old_index should be
calculated not based on the current policy.

We have been observing such issue when scaling_min/max_freq were
updated and sometimes cuased system lockups deu to incorrectly
configured voltages.

      memblock: free allocated memblock_reserved_regions later · 29f67386
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      memblock_free_reserved_regions() calls memblock_free(), but
memblock_free() would double reserved.regions too, so we could free the
old range for reserved.regions.

Also tj said there is another bug which could be related to this.

| I don't think we're saving any noticeable
| amount by doing this "free - give it to page allocator - reserve
| again" dancing.  We should just allocate regions aligned to page
| boundaries and free them later when memblock is no longer in use.

in that case, when DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, will get panic:

     memblock_free: [0x0000102febc080-0x0000102febf080] memblock_free_reserved_regions+0x37/0x39

  RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff836a5774>]  [<ffffffff836a5774>] __next_free_mem_range+0x9b/0x155

See the discussion at https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/13/469

So try to allocate with PAGE_SIZE alignment and free it later.
