From 9886167d20c0720dcfb01e62cdff4d906b226f43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2013 16:02:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix perf_pmu_migrate_context While auditing the list_entry usage due to a trinity bug I found that perf_pmu_migrate_context violates the rules for perf_event::event_entry. The problem is that perf_event::event_entry is a RCU list element, and hence we must wait for a full RCU grace period before re-using the element after deletion. Therefore the usage in perf_pmu_migrate_context() which re-uses the entry immediately is broken. For now introduce another list_head into perf_event for this specific usage. This doesn't actually fix the trinity report because that never goes through this code.
