The cpufreq core code is not consistent with respect to invoking __cpufreq_governor() under policy->rwsem. Changing all code to always hold policy->rwsem around __cpufreq_governor() invocations will allow us to remove cpufreq_governor_lock that is used today because we can't guarantee that __cpufreq_governor() isn't executed twice in parallel for the same policy. We should also ensure that policy->rwsem is held across governor state changes. For example, while adding a CPU to the policy in the CPU online path, we need to stop the governor, change policy->cpus, start the governor and then refresh its limits. The complete sequence must be guaranteed to complete without interruptions by concurrent governor state updates. That can be achieved by holding policy->rwsem around those sequences of operations. Also note that after this patch cpufreq_driver->stop_cpu() and ->exit() will get called under policy->rwsem which wasn't the case earlier. That shouldn't have any side effects, though.
