From a4f4bb6d0c69d0bb573f1d9e6f1b806f9b038b19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2016 18:45:42 +0100 Subject: perf: Allow perf_release() with !event->ctx In the err_file: fput(event_file) case, the event will not yet have been attached to a context. However perf_release() does assume it has been. Cure this.
