From 6bf11e8c708f0e512ed733fc65a50770c5bc7b54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "stephane.eranian@hp.com" Date: Thu, 28 Jul 2005 05:18:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [IA64] fix perfmon context load The PFM_LOAD_CONTEXT may fail silently and cause a session to remain reserved even though it should not. This can happen when the commands succeeds in reserving the session but fails when it actually tries to attach to the load_pid. In that case, the command has failed but will return 0. More importantly, the session will remain reserved. This patch fixes the problem.
