Subject: [PATCH] Bug fix for acpi-cpufreq and cpufreq_stats oops on frequency change notification
Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2006 14:16:12 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061118141612.A25909@unix-os.sc.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <8aa016e10611171425u6461a170ydf0b930b46b4ad85@mail.gmail.com>; from dhaval.giani@gmail.com on Sat, Nov 18, 2006 at 03:55:06AM +0530


Fixes the oops in cpufreq_stats with acpi_cpufreq driver.
The issue was that the frequency was reported as 0 in acpi-cpufreq.c.
The bug is due to different indicies for freq_table and ACPI perf table.

Also adds a check in cpufreq_stats to check for error return from
freq_table_get_index() and avoid using the error return value.

Patch fixes the issue reported at
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0611.2/0629.html
and also other similar issue here
