Subject: [PATCH v1] perf test: Fix maps use after put
Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2023 20:04:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230420030430.489243-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)

Fix a use after put reference count issue. maps is copied from leader,
but the leader is put on line 79 and then maps is used to read the
reference count below - so a use after put, with the put of maps
happening within thread__put. Fix by reversing the order of puts so
that the leader is put last.

To explain the reference count checker, I wrote this up as a little
example here:
https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Reference_Count_Checking

Note, the bug was introduced by the committer and wasn't present in
the original reference count patch set.
