cpufreq: Fix the race condition while updating the transition_task of policy
The field 'transition_task' of policy structure is used to track the
task which is performing the frequency transition. Using this field to
print a warning once detect a case where the same task is calling
_begin() again before completing the preivous frequency transition via
the _end().
However, there is a potential race condition in _end() and _begin() APIs
while updating the field 'transition_task' of policy, the scenario is
depicted below:
Task A Task B
/* 1st freq transition */
Invoke _begin() {
...
...
}
/* 2nd freq transition */
Invoke _begin() {
... //waiting for A to
... //clear
... //transition_ongoing
... //in _end() for
... //the 1st transition
|
Change the frequency |
|
Invoke _end() { |
... |
... |
transition_ongoing = false; V
transition_ongoing = true;
transition_task = current;
transition_task = NULL;
... //A overwrites the task
... //performing the transition
... //result in error warning.
}
To fix this race condition, the transition_lock of policy structure is
now acquired before updating policy structure in _end() API. Which ensure
that only one task can update the 'transition_task' field at a time.
