From 490285c65e2398a533035dd9d75cb606a61ea39a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Viresh Kumar Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2015 21:09:15 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: stats: drop unnecessary locking There is no possibility of any race on updating last_index, trans_table or total_trans as these are updated only by cpufreq_stat_notifier_trans() which will be called sequentially. The only place where locking is still relevant is: cpufreq_stats_update(), which updates time_in_state and last_time. This can be called by two thread in parallel, that may result in races. The two threads being: - sysfs read of time_in_state - and frequency transition that calls cpufreq_stat_notifier_trans(). Remove locking from the first case mentioned above.
