thermal_zone_device_check --> thermal_zone_device_update -->
handle_thermal_trip --> handle_critical_trips --> orderly_poweroff

The above sequence happens every 250/500 mS based on the configuration.
The orderly_poweroff function is getting called every 250/500 mS.
With a full fledged file system it takes at least 5-10 Seconds to
power off gracefully.

In that period due to the thermal_zone_device_check triggering
periodically the thermal work queues bombard with
orderly_poweroff calls multiple times eventually leading to
failures in gracefully powering off the system.

Make sure that orderly_poweroff is called only once.

Why? how the above commit introduced this issue?

I am not convinced this change does what you say it does..

Imagine you have two zones about to enter critical path. thermal zone 0
first gets into critical, and at this line (btween orderly_poweroff()
and you set your flag), it gets preempted. Then thermal zone 1 also
enters the critical path, then happens to be scheduled, you essentially
end up still calling orderly_poweroff() twice, which is what this patch
is supposed to avoid.

You better simply use a lock to serialize code execution.

git blame showed me that. I can remove this. Let me know if you have the
right commit that introduced this.

Okay understood. Will do it in the next version.
