From fe432200abb0d64f409895168d9ad8fbb9d8e6c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 09:08:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix perf_event_do_pending() fallback callsite Paul questioned the context in which we should call perf_event_do_pending(). After looking at that I found that it should be called from IRQ context these days, however the fallback call-site is placed in softirq context. Ammend this by placing the callback in the IRQ timer path.
