Subject: taskstats: add_del_listener() shouldn't use the wrong node
X-Git-Tag: v3.1-rc1~75
X-Git-Url: https://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=pandora-kernel.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=dfc428b656c4693a2334a8d9865b430beddb562a

taskstats: add_del_listener() shouldn't use the wrong node

1. Commit 26c4caea9d69 "don't allow duplicate entries in listener mode"
   changed add_del_listener(REGISTER) so that "next_cpu:" can reuse the
   listener allocated for the previous cpu, this doesn't look exactly
   right even if minor.

   Change the code to kfree() in the already-registered case, this case
   is unlikely anyway so the extra kmalloc_node() shouldn't hurt but
   looke more correct and clean.

2. use the plain list_for_each_entry() instead of _safe() to scan
   listeners->list.

3. Remove the unneeded INIT_LIST_HEAD(&s->list), we are going to
   list_add(&s->list).
