- Summary
- cpufreq: amd-pstate: Remove unnecessary driver_lock in set_boost
- Details
-
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: amd-pstate: Remove unnecessary driverlock in setboost
setboost is a per-policy function call, hence a driver wide lock is unnecessary. Also this mutexacquire can collide with the mutexacquire from the mode-switch path in statusstore(), which can lead to a deadlock. So, remove it.
