From e7d0bc047548d76feee6b23f7d3d9da927189a50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 14 Oct 2010 16:54:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix task refcount bugs Currently it looks like find_lively_task_by_vpid() takes a task ref and relies on find_get_context() to drop it. The problem is that perf_event_create_kernel_counter() shouldn't be dropping task refs.
