Subject: [PATCH 1/3 v2] perf_event: fix race in perf_swevent_get_recursion_context()
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:37:58 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B556F66.3070402@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4B54662B.4050109@cn.fujitsu.com>

It only disable preemption in perf_swevent_get_recursion_context(),
it can't avoid race of hard-irq and NMI since they are nested that
will re-enter this path and make the recursion value chaotic

In this patch, we use atomic operation to avoid it and reduce
cpu_ctx->recursion size, it also make this patch no need disable
preemption
