cpufreq: ondemand: update sampling rate only on right CPUs Fix cpufreq_gov_ondemand to skip CPU where another governor is used. The bug present itself as NULL pointer access on the mutex_lock() call, an can be reproduced on an SMP machine by setting the default governor to anything other than ondemand, setting a single CPU's governor to ondemand, then changing the sample rate by writing on: > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate Backtrace: Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.585241] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.585311] IP: [<ffffffff8174e082>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0xb2/0x170 [snip] Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587005] Call Trace: Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587030] [<ffffffff8174da82>] mutex_lock+0x22/0x40 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587067] [<ffffffff81610b8f>] store_sampling_rate+0xbf/0x150 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587110] [<ffffffff81031e9c>] ? __do_page_fault+0x1cc/0x4c0 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587153] [<ffffffff813309bf>] kobj_attr_store+0xf/0x20 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587192] [<ffffffff811bb62d>] sysfs_write_file+0xcd/0x140 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587234] [<ffffffff8114c12c>] vfs_write+0xac/0x180 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587271] [<ffffffff8114c472>] sys_write+0x52/0xa0 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587306] [<ffffffff810321ce>] ? do_page_fault+0xe/0x10 Nov 26 17:36:54 balto kernel: [ 839.587345] [<ffffffff81751202>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Signed-off-by: Fabio Baltieri <fabio.baltieri@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
