Subject: [PATCH] perf: fix ordering in perf_output_sample()
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2012 16:12:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120613141252.GA1417@quad> (raw)
It seems like the merge of commits a7ac67ea and bce38cd5
caused an ordering problem in perf_output_sample().
The watermark check must be done at the very end of the
function and not in the middle of writing data to the buffer.
