Since cpufreq_update_limits() obtains a cpufreq policy pointer for the given CPU and reference counts the object pointed to by it, calling cpufreq_update_policy() from cpufreq_update_limits() is somewhat wasteful because that function calls cpufreq_cpu_get() on the same CPU again. To avoid that unnecessary overhead, move the part of the code running under the policy rwsem from cpufreq_update_policy() to a new function called cpufreq_policy_refresh() and invoke that new function from both cpufreq_update_policy() and cpufreq_update_limits().

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.
