I meant we should return -ENOMEM in here, but we don't check it in the called anyway.. so perhaps if (WARN_ON(!leaders)) return 0;
Sure. I will change it in V5.

All the members must use alias, and be from the same uncore block. We have to go through the whole group to check the events. Thanks, Kan
