How is it going to work? If one task opens the file and another task is taking down the CPU wouldn't we deadlock in the CPU_DOWN notifier waiting for the kobject to be released? Task 1 will grab the kobject reference and sleep on the hotplug mutex and task 2 will put the kobject and wait for the completion, but it won't happen. At least I think that's what would happen. -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, hosted by The Linux Foundation -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cpufreq" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
