If multiple trip points are crossed in one go and the trips table in the thermal zone device object is not sorted, the corresponding trip point crossing notifications sent to user space will not be ordered either. Moreover, if the trips table is sorted by trip temperature in ascending order, the trip crossing notifications on the way up will be sent in that order too, but the trip crossing notifications on the way down will be sent in the reverse order. This is generally confusing and it is better to make the kernel send the notifications in the order of growing (on the way up) or falling (on the way down) trip temperature. To achieve that, instead of sending a trip crossing notification and recording a trip crossing event in the statistics right away from handle_thermal_trip(), put the trip in question on a list that will be sorted by __thermal_zone_device_update() after processing all of the trips and before sending the notifications and recording trip crossing events.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
