commit7491cdf46bupstream. Since cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() can run in parallel with cpufreq_set_policy() and there is no synchronization between them, the former may access policy->min and policy->max while the latter is updating them and it may see intermediate values of them due to the way the update is carried out. Also the compiler is free to apply any optimizations it wants both to the stores in cpufreq_set_policy() and to the loads in cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() which may result in additional inconsistencies. To address this, use WRITE_ONCE() when updating policy->min and policy->max in cpufreq_set_policy() and use READ_ONCE() for reading them in cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq(). Moreover, rearrange the update in cpufreq_set_policy() to avoid storing intermediate values in policy->min and policy->max with the help of the observation that their new values are expected to be properly ordered upfront. Also modify cpufreq_driver_resolve_freq() to take the possible reverse ordering of policy->min and policy->max, which may happen depending on the ordering of operations when this function and cpufreq_set_policy() run concurrently, into account by always honoring the max when it turns out to be less than the min (in case it comes from thermal throttling or similar).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
