From d415a7f1c1a8406b22d95b943c66a5b73a37bc19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leon Yu Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 20:43:33 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix context leak in put_event() Commit: a83fe28e2e45 ("perf: Fix put_event() ctx lock") changed the locking logic in put_event() by replacing mutex_lock_nested() with perf_event_ctx_lock_nested(), but didn't fix the subsequent mutex_unlock() with a correct counterpart, perf_event_ctx_unlock(). Contexts are thus leaked as a result of incremented refcount in perf_event_ctx_lock_nested().
