The problem is that the ACPI processor driver changes its ->get_max_state() callback return value depending on whether or not cpufreq is available and there is a cpufreq policy for a given CPU. However, the thermal core has always assumed that the return value of that callback will not change, which in fact is relied on by the cooling device statistics code. In particular, when the ->get_max_state() grows, the memory buffer allocated for storing the statistics will be too small and corruption may ensue as a result. For this reason, the issue needs to be addressed in the ACPI processor driver and not in the thermal core, but the core needs to help somewhat too. Namely, it needs to provide a helper allowing an interested driver to update the max_state value for an already registered cooling device in certain situations which will also cause the statistics to be rebuilt. This series implements the above and for details please refer to the individual patch chagelogs. Thanks!
