From 9137fb28ac74d05eb66d1d8e6778eaa14e6fed43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2011 21:17:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Clean up 'ctx' reference counting Small cleanup to how we refcount in find_get_context(), this also allows us to use put_ctx() to free things instead of using kfree().
