I'm running this simple test code in a shell on my 3.10 kernel and running
into this warning rather quickly.
cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1
while true
do
echo 0 > online
echo 1 > online
done &
while true
do
echo 300000 > cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
echo 1000000 > cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
done
(Note you should place valid values for min/max freq in the example
above.)

This is happening because the governor is stopped via hotplug and
while we're in the middle of touching the scaling_min_freq file.
When the governor is stopped we destroy the timer_mutex that the
scaling_min_freq thread is just about to acquire. From what I can
tell, we shouldn't be stopping the governor until after the
kobjects go away or we should start and stop the governor while
holding the policy semaphore otherwise userspace can come in and
use uninitialized things. I have this hack which seems to mostly
work. Thoughts?
