gpstate_timer_handler() uses synchronous smp_call to set the pstate
on the requested core. This causes the below hard lockup:

One way to avoid this is removing the smp-call. We can ensure that the timer
always runs on one of the policy-cpus. If the timer gets migrated to a
cpu outside the policy then re-queue it back on the policy->cpus. This way
we can get rid of the smp-call which was being used to set the pstate
on the policy->cpus.

This looks racy. Shouldn't you guarantee that the timer is already
removed in a synchronous way before de-activating the policy ?

The timer is deleted in driver->stop_cpu(). So we ensure to remove the timer
before de-activating the policy.


>> +		if (!cpumask_empty(policy->cpus)) {

So are you suggesting to remove ^^ the check for active policy here?
(I put that as a safety check.)

Either you are sure or you are not, and you don't need a safety check
if you are sure :)
