User space can change the weight of a thermal instance via sysfs while the .throttle() callback is running for a governor, because weight_store() does not use the zone lock. The IPA governor uses instance weight values for power calculations and caches the sum of them as total_weight, so it gets confused when one of them changes while its .throttle() callback is running. To prevent that from happening, use thermal zone locking in weight_store(). Signed-off-by: Lukasz Luba <lukasz.luba@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
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 Restructured Text 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.
