Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: stats: do cpufreq_cpu_put() corresponding to cpufreq_cpu_get

In cpufreq_stats_free_sysfs() we aren't balancing calls to cpufreq_cpu_get()
with cpufreq_cpu_put(). This will never let us have ref count to policy->kobj as
zero.

Rafael,

Since this prevents booting on our hardware (we unregister and
re-register the cpufreq driver to account for virtual cores), will
this be considered as a hotfix for 3.9?

Sorry i forgot to mention, this should be pushed for next rc.

Well, -rc5 is a realistic target.

Sure. Can you please remind me what hardware is that, though?

Not yet upstreamed: big LITTLE :)

But, this is broken for all other platforms too.. You just need to compile
your driver as module and insmod/remove it to call
cpufreq_driver_unregister().

Yes, the b.L cpufreq driver is being reviewed currently. And board
support is being merged in.

Which would be useful to write in the changelog, wouldn't it?

Hmm..

copy-paste with gmail is also broken, so find it attached too.

New change log, no change in patch and you can trust me on that :)

In cpufreq_stats_free_sysfs() we aren't balancing calls to cpufreq_cpu_get()
with cpufreq_cpu_put(). This will never let us have ref count to policy->kobj as
zero.

We will get a hang if somehow cpufreq_driver_unregister() is called. And that
can happen when we compile our driver as module and insmod/rmmod it.

OK, applied to bleeding-edge.
