cpufreq: Initialize the governor again while restoring policy
When all CPUs of a policy are hot-unplugged, we EXIT the governor but
don't mark policy->governor as NULL. This was done in order to keep last
used governor's information intact in sysfs, while the CPUs are offline.
But we also need to clear policy->governor when restoring the policy.
Because policy->governor still points to the last governor while policy
is restored, following sequence of event happens:
- cpufreq_init_policy() called while restoring policy
- find_governor() matches last_governor string for present governors and
returns last used governor's pointer, say ondemand. policy->governor
already has the same address, unless the governor was removed in
between.
- cpufreq_set_policy() is called with both old/new policies governor set
as ondemand.
- Because governors matched, we skip governor initialization and return
after calling __cpufreq_governor(CPUFREQ_GOV_LIMITS). Because the
governor wasn't initialized for this policy, it returned -EBUSY.
- cpufreq_init_policy() exits the policy on this error, but doesn't
destroy it properly (should be fixed separately).
- And so we enter a scenario where the policy isn't completely
initialized but used.
Fix this by setting policy->governor to NULL while restoring the policy.
