From 00d1d0b095ba4e5c0958cb228b2a9c445d4a339d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephane Eranian Date: Mon, 17 May 2010 12:46:01 +0200 Subject: perf: Fix errors path in perf_output_begin() In case the sampling buffer has no "payload" pages, nr_pages is 0. The problem is that the error path in perf_output_begin() skips to a label which assumes perf_output_lock() has been issued which is not the case. That triggers a WARN_ON() in perf_output_unlock(). This patch fixes the problem by skipping perf_output_unlock() in case data->nr_pages is 0.
