From 642c2d671ceff40e9453203ea0c66e991e11e249 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2015 12:56:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD deadlock Dmitry reported a fairly silly recursive lock deadlock for PERF_EVENT_IOC_PERIOD, fix this by explicitly doing the inactive part of __perf_event_period() instead of calling that function.
