From fadfe7be6e50de7f03913833b33c56cd8fb66bac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2014 14:33:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Add queued work to remove orphaned child events In cases when the owner task exits before the workload and the workload made some forks, all the events stay in until the last workload process exits. Thats' because each child event holds parent reference. We want to release all children events once the parent is gone, because at that time there's no process to read them anyway, so they're just eating resources. This removal races with process exit, which removes all events and fork, which clone events. To be clear of those two, adding work queue to remove orphaned child for context in case such event is detected. Using delayed work queue (with delay == 1), because we queue this work under perf scheduler callbacks. Normal work queue tries to wake up the queue process, which deadlocks on rq->lock in this place. Also preventing clones from abandoned parent event.
