Is it not possible to reduce the amount of code protected by RCU lock?
something like this:
+ rcu_read_lock();
opp = opp_find_freq_exact(dvfs_info->dev,
freq_tbl[i].frequency * 1000, true);
if (IS_ERR(opp)) {
+ rcu_read_unlock();
dev_err(dvfs_info->dev,
"failed to find valid OPP for %u KHZ\n",
freq_tbl[i].frequency);
return PTR_ERR(opp);
}
+ volt_id = opp_get_voltage(opp);
+ rcu_unlock();
