Subject[PATCH -next 0/2] cpufreq: powernv: Fixes for Global pstate management
Message-ID<ruF7Q-5LC-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
Fixes are based on patch https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/612058/ which is
in Rafael's linux-next.

- Patch [1] fixes WARN_ON in powernv_target_index()
- Patch [2] Deleting any pending timer to saves an unnecessary irq call
 in powernv_target_index()


Akshay Adiga (2):
  cpufreq: powernv: Move smp_call_function_any() out of irq safe block
  cpufreq: powernv: del_timer_sync when global and local pstate are
    equal

In reply to#1393252
Fixing a WARN_ON caused by smp_call_function_any() when irq is disabled,
because of changes made in the patch
('cpufreq: powernv: Ramp-down global pstate slower than local-pstate')
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/612058/

You don't necessarily have to write 'what you are doing' in the commit log, but
tell us why you are doing that.

Please explain, why is this changed and why will things continue to work
without this.

Thanks for reviewing. I have tried to convey that in the first line of commit message,

"WARN_ON caused by smp_call_function_any() when irq is disabled,
because of changes made in the patch"

I see, i have not explained why i am changing irq safe spinlock to normal spinlock.
will add some explanation.
