[PATCH] perf_events: fix errors path in perf_output_begin() (take 3)
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_out... 17 May 2010 09:06

[PATCH] drivers/mfd: remove unneeded and dangerous clearing of clientdata
Unlike real i2c-devices which get detached from the driver, dummy-devices get truly unregistered. So, there has never been a need to clear the clientdata because the device will go away anyhow. For the occasions fixed here, clearing clientdata was even dangerous as the structure was freed already. Signed-off-by: ... 17 May 2010 09:06
