From f9f16835d4dc46113c0a72625ffbf61f1aa95e5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: K Prateek Nayak Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 05:17:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq/amd-pstate-ut: Drop policy reference before driver switch Recent changes to the EPP unit test tries to perform a driver switch with a cpufreq_policy reference held when the driver is loaded into anything but the active mode which leads to a circular dependency and the unit test hanging indefinitely. Drop the reference before driver switch and grab it back once the driver mode is stabilized for the test. The EPP writes are only possible with CPUFREQ_POLICY_POWERSAVE policy. Temporarily switch the cpudata->policy (while holding the write end of the policy->rwsem) to CPUFREQ_POLICY_POWERSAVE and restore the original policy once tests are done. To ensure the final EPP is correct in case the driver started with CPUFREQ_POLICY_PERFORMANCE, EPP performance is tested last. The __free() based cleanup for cpufreq_policy is lost in the process.
