From 60b3df9c1e24a18aabb412da9905208c5f04ebea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2009 12:21:30 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf_counter: add comment to barrier We need to ensure the enabled=0 write happens before we start disabling the actual counters, so that a pcm_amd_enable() will not enable one underneath us. I think the race is impossible anyway, we always balance the ops within any one context and perform enable() with IRQs disabled.
