The cpu_latency_qos_add/remove/update_request interfaces lack internal
synchronization by design, requiring the caller to ensure thread safety.
The current implementation relies on the 'pm_qos_enabled' flag, which is
insufficient to prevent concurrent access and cannot serve as a proper
synchronization mechanism. This has led to data races and list
corruption issues.
A typical race condition call trace is:
[Thread A]
ufshcd_pm_qos_exit()
--> cpu_latency_qos_remove_request()
--> cpu_latency_qos_apply();
--> pm_qos_update_target()
--> plist_del <--(1) delete plist node
--> memset(req, 0, sizeof(*req));
--> hba->pm_qos_enabled = false;
[Thread B]
ufshcd_devfreq_target
--> ufshcd_devfreq_scale
--> ufshcd_scale_clks
--> ufshcd_pm_qos_update <--(2) pm_qos_enabled is true
--> cpu_latency_qos_update_request
--> pm_qos_update_target
--> plist_del <--(3) plist node use-after-free
Introduces a dedicated mutex to serialize PM QoS operations, preventing
data races and ensuring safe access to PM QoS resources, including sysfs
interface reads.

README
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 reStructuredText 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.
