Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix exit() vs PERF_FORMAT_GROUP -v2
Date: Tue, 11 May 2010 11:51:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1273571513.5605.3527.camel@twins> (raw)

Both Stephane and Corey reported that PERF_FORMAT_GROUP didn't work
as expected if the task the counters were attached to quit before
the read() call.
    
The cause is that we unconditionally destroy the grouping when we
remove counters from their context. Fix this by splitting off the group
destroy from the list removal such that perf_event_remove_from_context()
does not do this and change perf_event_release() to do so.
