[PATCH 3/5] cpufreq, dbs_data->usage count must be atomic

From: Prarit Bhargava
Date: Wed Nov 05 2014 - 10:00:43 EST


The usage_count value can be modified from several cpus concurrently if
!CPUFREQ_HAVE_GOVERNOR_PER_POLICY. This leads to a variety of panics in
which the usage_count is negative or exceeds the number of cpus in the
system. It must be switched to atomic_t and protected with a mutex to make sure
that future read/writes obtain the correct data.
