cpufreq: schedutil: Fix sugov_start() versus sugov_update_shared() race

Vikram Mulukutla · rafaeljw · commit ab2f7cf141aa · 2017-07-12T14:47:48.000+02:00
With a shared policy in place, when one of the CPUs in the policy is
hotplugged out and then brought back online, sugov_stop() and
sugov_start() are called in order.

sugov_stop() removes utilization hooks for each CPU in the policy and
does nothing else in the for_each_cpu() loop. sugov_start() on the
other hand iterates through the CPUs in the policy and re-initializes
the per-cpu structure _and_ adds the utilization hook.  This implies
that the scheduler is allowed to invoke a CPU's utilization update
hook when the rest of the per-cpu structures have yet to be
re-inited.

Apart from some strange values in tracepoints this doesn't cause a
problem, but if we do end up accessing a pointer from the per-cpu
sugov_cpu structure somewhere in the sugov_update_shared() path,
we will likely see crashes since the memset for another CPU in the
policy is free to race with sugov_update_shared from the CPU that is
ready to go.  So let's fix this now to first init all per-cpu
structures, and then add the per-cpu utilization update hooks all at
once.
