From 68cacd29167b1926d237bd1b153aa2a990201729 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2011 16:03:06 +0100 Subject: perf_events: Fix stale ->cgrp pointer in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx() This patch solves a stale pointer problem in update_cgrp_time_from_cpuctx(). The cpuctx->cgrp was not cleared on all possible event exit paths, including: close() perf_release() perf_release_kernel() list_del_event() This patch fixes list_del_event() to clear cpuctx->cgrp when there are no cgroup events left in the context. [ This second version makes the code compile when CONFIG_CGROUP_PERF is not enabled. We unconditionally define perf_cpu_context->cgrp. ] Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: perfmon2-devel@lists.sf.net Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: davem@davemloft.net LKML-Reference: <20110323150306.GA1580@quad> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- include/linux/perf_event.h | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/linux/perf_event.h b/include/linux/perf_event.h index f495c0147240..311b4dc785a1 100644 --- a/include/linux/perf_event.h +++ b/include/linux/perf_event.h @@ -938,9 +938,7 @@ struct perf_cpu_context { struct list_head rotation_list; int jiffies_interval; struct pmu *active_pmu; -#ifdef CONFIG_CGROUP_PERF struct perf_cgroup *cgrp; -#endif }; struct perf_output_handle { -- cgit v1.2.3
