From 3a80b4a3539696f4b0574876326860323035a302 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2009 19:49:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf_counter: Fix a race on perf_counter_ctx While extending perfcounters with BTS hw-tracing, Markus Metzger managed to trigger this warning: [ 995.557128] WARNING: at kernel/perf_counter.c:1191 __perf_counter_task_sched_out+0x48/0x6b() triggers because commit 9f498cc5be7e013d8d6e4c616980ed0ffc8680d2 (perf_counter: Full task tracing) removed clearing of tsk->perf_counter_ctxp out from under ctx->lock which introduced a race (against perf_lock_task_context). Move it back and deal with the exit notification by explicitly passing along the former task context.
