[PATCH v3 7/9] thermal/sysfs: Update instance->weight under tz lock

From: Lukasz Luba
Date: Wed Dec 20 2023 - 18:18:51 EST


User space can change the weight of a thermal instance via sysfs while the
.throttle() callback is running for a governor, because weight_store()
does not use the zone lock.

The IPA governor uses instance weight values for power calculations and
caches the sum of them as total_weight, so it gets confused when one of
them changes while its .throttle() callback is running.

To prevent that from happening, use thermal zone locking in
weight_store().
