For example, policy is used by all cpufreq drivers, etc and no one is stopping them to use it without taking the lock.. FWIW, I have also tried to do some cleanups earlier, but was never able to send them upstream due to busy schedule. ssh://git@git.linaro.org/people/viresh.kumar/linux.git cpufreq/core/locking You might find some interesting bits there.

There are paths in cpufreq_offline_prepare where policy is used, but its rwsem is not held. Fix it. Cc: "Rafael J.
