Subject: [PATCH V3] cpufreq: powernv: Fix the hardlockup by synchronus smp_call in timer interrupt
Date:   Wed, 25 Apr 2018 16:29:31 +0530
Message-Id: <1524653971-4919-1-git-send-email-shilpa.bhat@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Precedence: bulk

gpstate_timer_handler() uses synchronous smp_call to set the pstate
on the requested core. This causes the below hard lockup:

One way to avoid this is removing the smp-call. We can ensure that the timer
always runs on one of the policy-cpus. If the timer gets migrated to a
cpu outside the policy then re-queue it back on the policy->cpus. This way
we can get rid of the smp-call which was being used to set the pstate
on the policy->cpus.
