[PATCH 1/2] tracing: Check total refcount before releasing bufs in profile_enable failure

From: Frederic Weisbecker
Date: Sat Oct 03 2009 - 09:47:51 EST


When we call the profile_enable() callback of an event, we release the
shared perf event tracing buffers unconditionnaly in the failure path.
This is wrong because there may be other users of these. Then check the
total refcount before doing this.
