[ Upstream commit 4e814173a8c4f432fd068b1c796f0416328c9d99 ]
There are 3 synchronization issues with thermal zone suspend-resume
during system-wide transitions:
1. The resume code runs in a PM notifier which is invoked after user
space has been thawed, so it can run concurrently with user space
which can trigger a thermal zone device removal. If that happens,
the thermal zone resume code may use a stale pointer to the next
list element and crash, because it does not hold thermal_list_lock
while walking thermal_tz_list.
2. The thermal zone resume code calls thermal_zone_device_init()
outside the zone lock, so user space or an update triggered by
the platform firmware may see an inconsistent state of a
thermal zone leading to unexpected behavior.
3. Clearing the in_suspend global variable in thermal_pm_notify()
allows __thermal_zone_device_update() to continue for all thermal
zones and it may as well run before the thermal_tz_list walk (or
at any point during the list walk for that matter) and attempt to
operate on a thermal zone that has not been resumed yet. It may
also race destructively with thermal_zone_device_init().
To address these issues, add thermal_list_lock locking to
thermal_pm_notify(), especially arount the thermal_tz_list,
make it call thermal_zone_device_init() back-to-back with
__thermal_zone_device_update() under the zone lock and replace
in_suspend with per-zone bool "suspend" indicators set and unset
under the given zone's lock.

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.
