Nathan's commit 5800043b2 changed the fence around the call to
__cpufreq_governor() in __cpufreq_remove_dev() here is the relevant hunk.
No it isn't.
+ if (has_target)
__cpufreq_governor(data, CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP);
As it has taken care of this limitation.
BUT some of my earlier patches haven't. :(
Here is the fix (Sedat please try this and give your tested-by, use the attached
patch as gmail might break what i am copying in mail)..
Sorry for being late in fixing this issue, i am still down with Tonsil infection
and fever.. Today only i got some power to fix it after seeing Dirk's mail.
Your tested-by may help me to recover quickly :)
Hehe.
Me myself and I was today chez-mon-docteur... Let's see the results on Thursday.
Again, get well soon.
Tested against...
"BROKEN" Linux-Next (next-20130411) with attached patchset (incl.
your cpufreq-next-fixes).
Test-Case...
CONFIG_X86_INTEL_PSTATE=y
root# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/online
Tested-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@xxxxxxxxx>
...did not test on-reboot-case.
( Dirk promised to test as well... )
Tested with:
while true
do
echo 0 > online
echo 1 > online
done
For several minutes and rebooting several times seems to have fixed the
issue.
Nathan, Sorry for calling out your patch erroneously I should have paid closer
attention.
Viresh you can add my Tested-by:
Thanks

@Rafael: I will probably be down for one more week and so not doing any
reviews for now... I do check important mails sent directly to me though.

Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: Don't call __cpufreq_governor() for drivers without
target()
Some cpufreq drivers implement their own governor and so don't need us to call
generic governors interface via __cpufreq_governor(). Few recent commits haven't
obeyed this law well and we saw some regressions.
This patch tries to fix this issue.
