There is a timer_list race condition when executing the following test shell script:
'''
while true
do
        echo "simple_ondemand" > /sys/class/devfreq/1d84000.ufshc/governor
        echo "performance" > /sys/class/devfreq/1d84000.ufshc/governor
done

[13511.215676][    C3] Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops: Fatal exception in interrupt

This is because when switching the governor through the sys node,
the devfreq_monitor_start function will re-initialize the delayed work task,
which will cause the delay work pending flag to become invalid, and the timer pending judgment contained in the delayed work will also become invalid,
and then the pending interception will be executed when the queue is executed.

So we remove the delay work'initialization work to the devfreq_add_device and timer_store functions,
and the delay work pending judgment is performed before the devfreq_monitor_start function performs the queue operation.

Just saw this mail, i have posted a patch to synchronize 
devfreq_monitor_start/stop.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/[e-mail]/

let me know if that works too.

Here, this can cause issue right, as it is modifying the delayed work
data even before stopping the current running instances..

Should the above thing be done after DEVFREQ_GOV_STOP ?
But again it will boil down to the same thing as it is currently
now .

I was thinking if i put mutex around cancel_delayed_work_sync() as well 
in devfreq_monitor_stop() on top of below patch, should cover the 
corruption of workdata.

Here, this can cause issue right, as it is modifying the delayed work data even before stopping the current running instances..

Should the above thing be done after DEVFREQ_GOV_STOP ?
But again it will boil down to the same thing as it is currently now .

Hi Mukesh
I try the below patch on my side，issue still happened ；but I am working on kernel 5.10.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[e-mail]/

I will try to debug the patch on my side , I will update you when there is new progress.

There still seems to be problem with the patch [1], work is queued to 
some cpu but not executing where there can be parallel call can come for 
devfreq_monitor_start() and that is not being checked and same can come
during cancel_delayed_work_sync() call. We can protect the same with 
below patch applied on top of the patch given on [1].

Hi Mukesh,patch 2 still get some deadlock issue during pressure testing, between devfreq_monitor and devfreq_monitor_stop functions like:
    [<ffffffd99bc7ab40>] __switch_to+0x244
    [<ffffffd99d602490>] __schedule+0x5bc
    [<ffffffd99d602b9c>] schedule+0x80
    [<ffffffd99d60b53c>] schedule_timeout[jt]+0xe0
    [<ffffffd99d6040cc>] wait_for_common+0x148
    [<ffffffd99bd69008>] __flush_work+0x3b0
    [<ffffffd99bd6c670>] __cancel_work_timer+0x11c
    [<ffffffd99cddeb8c>] devfreq_simple_ondemand_handler+0x84
    [<ffffffd99cddd660>] governor_store.60718+0x104
    [<ffffffd99c8b8950>] dev_attr_store+0x38
    [<ffffffd99c2a0254>] sysfs_kf_write+0x64
    [<ffffffd99c29d98c>] kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x168
    [<ffffffd99c15f1e8>] vfs_write+0x300
    [<ffffffd99c15ee74>] ksys_write+0x7c
    [<ffffffd99c15ede8>] __arm64_sys_write+0x20
    [<ffffffd99bc94c24>] el0_svc_common+0xd4
    [<ffffffd99d37d644>] el0_svc+0x28
    [<ffffffd99d37d5b8>] el0_sync_handler+0x8c
    [<ffffffd99bc120b4>] el0_sync+0x1b4
This is because devfreq_monitor_stop keep devfreq->lock,and then cancel the work, will wait the work flush finish completion;
The work completion need devfreq_monitor finish also, but devfreq_monitor need to get devfreq->lock too.
So, cancel_delayed_work_sync(&devfreq->work);need remove to outside devfreq->lock protect!

uh !! terrible mistake! that is very obvious deadlock.,
Let me fix and post it., thanks for testing..
