If the policy has been released, cpufreq_get_policy() will return -EINVAL, it won't do an extra memcpy. Qiwu

No. I just worry about an unnecessary memcpy, nothing else.

What do you mean by that? The whole point I am trying to make is that for your specific case, doing an explicit cpufreq_cpu_get() and cpufreq_cpu_put() is far more efficient than calling cpufreq_get_policy() which has a different purpose and usecase.
