[PATCH] perf/core: do not set cpuctx->cgrp for unscheduled cgroups

From: David Carrillo-Cisneros
Date: Tue Oct 11 2016 - 19:33:00 EST


commit db4a835601b7
("perf/core: Set cgroup in CPU contexts for new cgroup events")

fails to verify that event->cgrp is actually the scheduled cgroup
in a CPU before setting cpuctx->cgrp. This patch fixes that.
The bug only impacts the first cgroup that is created in a CPU.

Now that there is a different path for scheduled and unscheduled
cgroups, add a warning to catch when cpuctx->cgrp is still set after
the last cgroup event has been unsheduled.
