This is how the core works:
cpufreq_driver_unregister()
- subsys_interface_unregister()
- for_each_cpu() call cpufreq_remove_dev(), i.e. 0,1,2,3,4 when we
unregister.
cpufreq_remove_dev():
- Remove policy node
- Call cpufreq_add_dev() for next cpu, sharing mask with removed cpu.
i.e.
Because cpufreq core and governors worry only about the online cpus, if a cpu is
hot [un]plugged, we must notify governors about it, otherwise be ready to expect
something unexpected.
We already have notifiers in the form of CPUFREQ_GOV_START/CPUFREQ_GOV_STOP, we
just need to call them now.
Signe
cpufreq core doesn't manage offline cpus and if driver->init() has returned
mask including offline cpus, it may result in unwanted behavior by cpufreq core
or governors.
We need to get only online cpus in this mask. There are two places to fix this
mask, cpufreq core and cpufreq driver. It makes s

Subject: [PATCH 3.7.0 6/9] i82975x_edac: unmap pcibar after init
Remove the unnecessary mapped window in private data structure.
Then the window can be unmapped right after driver initialisation
is done.

This patchset cleans up the accumulated mess the driver has become.
Currently, it does not crash, but serves no other purpose. This patch-set
gets it to print correct DIMM labels on errors, and sync with the core
w.r.t memory layout.

Thanks for fixing this bug. Your patch works but it's not the right
way to do it.
The original code here adds 4 to pointers which are currently
aligned instead of leaving them as is. We have a kernel ALIGN()
macro which works correctly, but actually, it's not needed.
On arm, the pointer returne

Why not use nonblocking pool and seed nonblocking pool only with half of
collected entropy to get /dev/random in almost all practical scenarios
nonblocking?

1) find_vma() is *not* safe without ->mmap_sem and its result may
very well be freed just as it's returned to caller. IOW,
gntdev_ioctl_get_offset_for_vaddr() is racy and may end up with
dereferencing freed memory.
2) gntdev_vma_close() is putting NULL into map->vma with only
->mm
