The ondemand locking very much looks like taken over from the userspacegovernor. There you need the lock because a write to set_speed directlycalls ->target.
What is urgently missing is a description for what the locks arereally used, not only in which case they deadlock.
>From your comment above:> dbs_mutex does not have anything to do with timer_init and timer_exit.But this is what it seems to do?If it's not needed to protect calling timer_init while in timer_exit(or the other way around) and sysfs_create_group whilein sysfs_remove_group I think the mutex can be deleted.What do you think about this patch (compile tested only and notfor .30)?
Is someone aware of any test scenarios I could run to try withoutthe mutex and run into trouble?Do I totally miss something here or does this make sense?
Thanks,

-----
CPUFREQ ondemand: Remove unneeded dbs_mutex
There is no need to protect general (not per core) ondemand sysfs variablesagainst per core governor (de-)activation (GOV_START/GOV_STOP).
It must just be assured that these are only initialized once, before userspacecan modify them (otherwise userspace modifications will be overriden byre-initializing the general variables).This should already be the case.
