[PATCH v6 1/2] cpufreq: Abort show/store for half initialized policy

From: Schspa Shi
Date: Sun May 15 2022 - 22:45:09 EST


If policy initialization fails after the sysfs files are created,
there is a possibility that we may end up running show()/store()
callbacks for half initialized policies, which may have unpredictable
outcomes.

Abort show/store in such a case by making sure the policy is active.
Also inactivate the policy on such failures.

Changelog:
v1 -> v2:
- Fix bad critical region enlarge which causes uninitialized
unlock.
- Move cpumask_clear(policy->cpus); before out_offline_policy
v2 -> v3:
- Remove the missed down_write() before
cpumask_and(policy->cpus, policy->cpus, cpu_online_mask);
v3 -> v4:
- Seprate to two patchs.
- Add policy_is_inactive check before sysfs access
v4 -> v5:
- Change the commit message as Viresh advised.
- Initialize ret to -EBUSY to get rid of the else part.
