From 6e85158cf5a2385264316870256fb6ad681156a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mackerras Date: Sat, 8 May 2010 20:58:00 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] perf_event: Make software events work again Commit 6bde9b6ce0127e2a56228a2071536d422be31336 ("perf: Add group scheduling transactional APIs") added code to allow a group to be scheduled in a single transaction. However, it introduced a bug in handling events whose pmu does not implement transactions -- at the end of scheduling in the events in the group, in the non-transactional case the code now falls through to the group_error label, and proceeds to unschedule all the events in the group and return failure. This fixes it by returning 0 (success) in the non-transactional case.
