[PATCH 4.20 094/352] thermal: Fix locking in cooling device sysfs update cur_state

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Feb 11 2019 - 09:25:10 EST


4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 68000a0d983f539c95ebe5dccd4f29535c7ac0af ]

Sysfs interface to update cooling device cur_state does not
currently holding cooling device lock sometimes leading to
stale values in cur_state if getting updated simultanelously
from user space and thermal framework. Adding the proper locking
code fixes this issue.
