From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2011 18:22:28 +0000 (+0100) Subject: perf: Fix perf_event_init_task()/perf_event_free_task() interaction X-Git-Tag: 2.1b_release~5063^2~126 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8550d7cb6ed6c89add49c3b6ad4c753ab8a3d7f9;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Fkernel-mfld-blackbay.git perf: Fix perf_event_init_task()/perf_event_free_task() interaction perf_event_init_task() should clear child->perf_event_ctxp[] before anything else. Otherwise, if perf_event_init_context(perf_hw_context) fails, perf_event_free_task() can free perf_event_ctxp[perf_sw_context] copied from parent->perf_event_ctxp[] by dup_task_struct(). Also move the initialization of perf_event_mutex and perf_event_list from perf_event_init_context() to perf_event_init_context().
