From 33b2fb303fe7f6b08bbb32f708e67b96eaa94a7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Sun, 17 May 2009 11:08:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf_counter: fix counter freeing logic Fix counter lifetime bugs which explain the crashes reported by Marcelo Tosatti and Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo. The new rule is: flushing + freeing is only done for a task's own counters, never for other tasks.
