Subject: thermal: power_allocator: fix one race condition issue for thermal_instances list
From: Yi Zeng <yizeng@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit a5de11d67dcd268b8d0beb73dc374de5e97f0caf ]
When invoking allow_maximum_power and traverse tz->thermal_instances,
we should grab thermal_zone_device->lock to avoid race condition. For
example, during the system reboot, if the mali GPU device implements
device shutdown callback and unregister GPU devfreq cooling device,
the deleted list head may be accessed to cause panic, as the following
log shows:
