Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: fix double unlock of cpu_policy_rwsem in drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c
Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 11:55:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <18494.32161.453409.293610@ipc1.ka-ro> (raw)
In drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c the function cpufreq_add_dev() takes the
error exit 'err_out_unregister' from different places once with the
'cpu_policy_rwsem' lock held, once with the lock released:
| if (ret)
| goto err_out_unregister;
| }
|
| policy->governor = NULL; /* to assure that the starting sequence is
| * run in cpufreq_set_policy */
|
| /* set default policy */
| ret = __cpufreq_set_policy(policy, &new_policy);
| policy->user_policy.policy = policy->policy;
| policy->user_policy.governor = policy->governor;
|
| unlock_policy_rwsem_write(cpu);
|
| if (ret) {
| dprintk("setting policy failed\n");
| goto err_out_unregister;
| }
This leads to the following error message in case of a failing
__cpufreq_set_policy() call:
=====================================
[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
-------------------------------------
swapper/1 is trying to release lock (&per_cpu(cpu_policy_rwsem, cpu)) at:
[<c01b4564>] unlock_policy_rwsem_write+0x30/0x40
but there are no more locks to release!
other info that might help us debug this:
