From 90983b16078ab0fdc58f0dab3e8e3da79c9579a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Tue, 23 Jul 2013 02:31:00 +0200 Subject: perf: Sanitize get_callchain_buffer() In case of allocation failure, get_callchain_buffer() keeps the refcount incremented for the current event. As a result, when get_callchain_buffers() returns an error, we must cleanup what it did by cancelling its last refcount with a call to put_callchain_buffers(). This is a hack in order to be able to call free_event() after that failure. The original purpose of that was to simplify the failure path. But this error handling is actually counter intuitive, ugly and not very easy to follow because one expect to see the resources used to perform a service to be cleaned by the callee if case of failure, not by the caller. So lets clean this up by cancelling the refcount from get_callchain_buffer() in case of failure. And correctly free the event accordingly in perf_event_alloc().
