[PATCH V2 01/17] thermal: cpu_cooling: Avoid accessing potentially freed structures

Show all headers | View raw

After the lock is dropped, it is possible that the cpufreq_dev gets
freed before we call get_level() and that can cause kernel to crash.

Drop the lock after we are done using the structure.
