Subject: [patch 4/14] x86, ds: wait before freeing the DS configuration
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2009 09:58:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090327095840.A11187@sedona.ch.intel.com> (raw)
After suspending bts tracing, the task is still traced as long as it is
running. The suspend will take effect when the task is scheduled out.
Wait until the traced task becomes inactive before freeing the DS configuration.
