When a CPU is hot removed we'll cancel all the delayed work items
via gov_cancel_work(). Normally this will just cancels a delayed
timer on each CPU that the policy is managing and the work won't
run, but if the work is already running the workqueue code will
wait for the work to finish before continuing to prevent the
work items from re-queuing themselves like they normally do. This
scheme will work most of the time, except for the case where the
work function determines that it should adjust the delay for all
other CPUs that the policy is managing. If this scenario occurs,
the canceling CPU will cancel its own work but queue up the other
CPUs works to run. For example:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
cpu_down()
...
__cpufreq_remove_dev()
cpufreq_governor_dbs()
case CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP:
gov_cancel_work(dbs_data, policy);
cpu0 work is canceled
timer is canceled
cpu1 work is canceled <work runs>
<waits for cpu1> od_dbs_timer()
gov_queue_work(*, *, true);
cpu0 work queued
cpu1 work queued
cpu2 work queued
...
cpu1 work is canceled
cpu2 work is canceled
...
At the end of the GOV_STOP case cpu0 still has a work queued to
run although the code is expecting all of the works to be
canceled. __cpufreq_remove_dev() will then proceed to
re-initialize all the other CPUs works except for the CPU that is
going down. The CPUFREQ_GOV_START case in cpufreq_governor_dbs()
will trample over the queued work and debugobjects will spit out
a warning:
