OK, that's a good clue. That looks like we're freeing events that still are on the owner list, which would indicate we're freeing events that have a refcount. I added a WARN in free_event() to check the refcount, along with a number of false positives (through the perf_event_open() fail path) I do appear to be getting actual fails here. At least I can 'reproduce' this. Earlier attempts, even based on your .config only got me very mysterious lockups -- I suspect the corruption happens on a slightly different spot or so and completely messes up the machine. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
