This is the scenario that triggers it: Thead A - Cluster with 4 CPUs - CPU3 is going down. - Governor is STOPed. - CPU3 is removed, but governor not STARTed yet. Thread B - get_online_cpus() - We cross this hotplug barrier since since POST_DEAD is sent AFTER releasing the hotplug lock. - cpufreq_update_policy(CPU0) does a bunch of stuff - Then sends GOV_LIMITS to governor. - governor is currently STOPed, so it returns an error and cpufreq_update_policy() fails. Thread A - In POST_DEAD notifier, STARTs the governor again. So, a perfectly valid call (doing get_online_cpus() and checking for cpu_online() on a CPU before calling) fails. -Saravana

There's no need to wait for the CPU going down to fully go offline to restart the governor. We can stop the governor, change policy->cpus and immediately restart the governor. This should reduce the time without any CPUfreq monitoring and also help future patches with simplifying the code.
