[PATCH V2 7/7] cpufreq: Remove cpufreq_governor_lock

Show all headers | View raw

We used to drop policy->rwsem just before calling __cpufreq_governor()
in some cases earlier and so it was possible that __cpufreq_governor()
runs concurrently via separate threads.

In order to guarantee valid state transitions for governors,
'governor_enabled' was required to be protected using some locking and
we created cpufreq_governor_lock for that.

But now, __cpufreq_governor() is always called from within policy->rwsem
held and so 'governor_enabled' is protected against races even without
cpufreq_governor_lock.

Get rid of the extra lock now.
