There is no locking in this sysfs show function so stats printing can
race with a devfreq_update_status called as part of freq switching or
with initialization.

Also add an assert in devfreq_update_status to make it clear that lock
must be held by caller.

Hi Leonard,

this series doesn't indicate the version, from the change history in
the cover letter I suppose it is v5.

This and some other patches look like generic improvements and not
directly related to the series "PM / devfreq: Add dev_pm_qos
support". If there are no dependencies I think it is usually better to
send the improvements separately, it keeps the series more focussed
and might reduce version churn. Just my POV though ;-)

you could assign 'len' in the declaration instead, but it's just
another option, it'ss fine as is.

This leaves the general structure of the code as is, which is great,
but since you are already touching this part you can consider to
improve it: 'max_state' is constant after device creation, hence the
check could be done at the beginning, which IMO would be clearer, it
could also save an unnecessary devfreq_update_status() call and it
wouldn't be necessary to hold the lock (one goto less).

My only comments are possible improvements, but the change also looks
good as is, so:

Sorry about that, I forgot --subject-prefix. It is indeed v5

The locking cleanups are required in order to initialize pm_qos request 
and notifiers without introducing lockdep warnings.

pm_qos calls notifiers under dev_pm_qos_mtx and those notifiers needs to 
take &devfreq->lock. This means initializing pm_qos notifiers and 
requests must be done outside &devfreq->lock which needs some cleanups 
in devfreq_add_device.

This particular patch is a more loosely related bugfix. Devfreq 
maintainers: would it help to post it separately?

Now that I look at this more closely &devfreq->lock only really needs to 
be held during the stats update, it can be released during sprintf.

Thanks for the clarification!

If it's just this single patch it probably isn't a problem, I'd be
more concerned about multiple unrelated patches or if the changes are
complex.

right, another simplification :)
