There is an additional reference added to the driver in
cpufreq_add_dev() that is removed in__cpufreq_governor() if the
driver implements target(). Remove the last reference when the
driver implements setpolicy()

I don't understand this patch at all.. I grepped both cpufreq_cpu_get() &
put()
in bleeding-edge and found everything to be correct.
Can you please point me to the exact line numbers ?
Line 878 in cpufreq_add_dev()
Following is line 878:
for_each_online_cpu(sibling) {
struct cpufreq_policy *cp = per_cpu(cpufreq_cpu_data, sibling);
if (cp && cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, cp->related_cpus))
return cpufreq_add_policy_cpu(cpu, sibling, dev);
}
How is this related to your patch?
our files are clearly out of sync :-) The code in cpufreq_add_dev() is
#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
/* check whether a different CPU already registered this
* CPU because it is in the same boat. */
policy = cpufreq_cpu_get(cpu);
if (unlikely(policy)) {
cpufreq_cpu_put(policy);
return 0;
}
The reference added by this cpufreq_cpu_get() is finally dropped in
__cpufreq_remove_dev() with the call to __cpufreq_governor()
if (driver->target)
__cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
Without this change I hang at:
pr_debug("waiting for dropping of refcount\n");
wait_for_completion(cmp);
