cpufreq: powernv: Disable preemption while checking CPU throttling state
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 8a10c06 upstream.

With preemption turned on we can read incorrect throttling state
while being switched to CPU on a different chip.

 BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: cat/7343
 caller is .powernv_cpufreq_throttle_check+0x2c/0x710
 CPU: 13 PID: 7343 Comm: cat Not tainted 4.8.0-rc5-dirty #1
