[CPUFREQ] Fix ondemand vs suspend deadlock
Rootcaused the bug to a deadlock in cpufreq and ondemand. Due to non-existent ordering between cpu_hotplug lock and dbs_mutex. Basically a race condition between cpu_down() and do_dbs_timer(). cpu_down() flow: * cpu_down() call for CPU 1 * Takes hot plug lock * Calls pre down notifier * cpufreq notifier handler calls cpufreq_driver_target() which takes cpu_hotplug lock again. OK as cpu_hotplug lock is recursive in same process context * CPU 1 goes down * Calls post down notifier * cpufreq notifier handler calls ondemand event stop which takes dbs_mutex So, cpu_hotplug lock is taken before dbs_mutex in this flow. do_dbs_timer is triggerred by a periodic timer event. It first takes dbs_mutex and then takes cpu_hotplug lock in cpufreq_driver_target(). Note the reverse order here compared to above. So, if this timer event happens at right moment during cpu_down, system will deadlok. Attached patch fixes the issue for both ondemand and conservative.
