This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled perf: Fix unclone_ctx() vs. locking to the linux-3.16.y-queue branch of the 3.16.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.16.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.16.7-ckt2. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.16.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From a69e3e3e58cc7539a589f8d298e952e94db6d064 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2014 19:23:08 +0200 Subject: perf: Fix unclone_ctx() vs. locking commit 211de6eba8960521e2be450a7d07db85fba4604c upstream. The idiot who did 4a1c0f262f88 ("perf: Fix lockdep warning on process exit") forgot to pay attention and fix all similar cases. Do so now. In particular, unclone_ctx() must be called while holding ctx->lock, therefore all such sites are broken for the same reason. Pull the put_ctx() call out from under ctx->lock.
