Orderly power off is supposed to take care of this. Looking at the code,
it will force a shutdown in case execution of userland command fails:

static int __orderly_poweroff(bool force)
{
int ret;

ret = run_cmd(poweroff_cmd);

if (ret && force) {
pr_warn("Failed to start orderly shutdown: forcing the 
issue\n");

/*

 * poweroff asap.  Or not even bother syncing if we're doing an

 */
emergency_sync();
kernel_power_off();

I'd agree as well.. I guess the comment from Robin Holt 
anticipated something like this will eventually occur.

"* I guess this should try to kick off some daemon to sync and

* emergency shutdown?
"

Keerthy - would you spin this as a generic fix?

I really wish a better description of what is going on. I am not really
sure why thermal subsystem must deal with the case of a failing kernel
API. If orderly power off is failing, why don't we fix it instead?
What are the failing conditions? few rare conditions seams very odd.
How does it fail? Why fixing it in thermal? Other users of it don't
deserver the same fix?

Yes, it will *IF* userspace fails. the condition that I had tracked
was before identifying the following fix[1] - Example fail is here[2]

In this case, tmp102 is setup for X15 as [3] - and built as a module.
as the kernel startsup filesystem and starts a modprobe of all modules
via udev rules, the probe of tmp102 detects (falsely) a critical
temperature condition. Shutdown attempt in the middle of driver probe
is always a tricky business.

As we look at the log in [2], Line  472
> thermal thermal_zone3: critical temperature reached(108 C),shutting down
We have userspace trigger for shutdown taking place.

Line 495: INIT: Sending processes the TERM signal

userspace starts shutting down services. (but note that probe for
other devices were either in progress or queued up to complete)..

at line 647 - we are in a weird place -> sysrq shows that system is
idled and userspace is shutdown and system is still active.


In this case, we entered the case thanks to a driver bug, but if this
situation was a real world temperature scenario, then we'd probably in
an overtemp scenario, then device damage could take place OR something
much worse.

The only alternative is to run a parallel thread in case userspace
fails to complete the job in some given period of time - due to what
ever be the condition triggering the problem.

I hope this explains the problem.

Obviously, we'd like to take into consideration userspace latencies as
well- but that is very specific to fs being run.. not really a simple
