From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 19:34:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: thermal: Do not call acpi_thermal_check() directly

Calling acpi_thermal_check() from acpi_thermal_notify() directly is problematic if _TMP triggers Notify () on the thermal zone for which it has been evaluated (which happens on some systems), because it causes a new acpi_thermal_notify() invocation to be queued up every time and if that takes place too often, an indefinite number of pending work items may accumulate in kacpi_notify_wq over time.

Besides, it is not really useful to queue up a new invocation of acpi_thermal_check() if one of them is pending already.

For these reasons, rework acpi_thermal_notify() to queue up a thermal check instead of calling acpi_thermal_check() directly and only allow one thermal check to be pending at a time. Moreover, only allow one acpi_thermal_check_fn() instance at a time to run thermal_zone_device_update() for one thermal zone and make it return early if it sees other instances running for the same thermal zone.

While at it, fold acpi_thermal_check() into acpi_thermal_check_fn(), as it is only called from there after the other changes made here.

[This issue appears to have been exposed by commit 6d25be5782e4 ("sched/core, workqueues: Distangle worker accounting from rq lock"), but it is unclear why it was not visible earlier.]
