in [Kernel]

Prev: pids: init_struct_pid.tasks should never see the swapper process
Next: gadget: f_fs.c needs to include pagemap.h
From: Peter Zijlstra on 11 May 2010 06:00 Both Stephane and Corey reported that PERF_FORMAT_GROUP didn't work as expected if the task the counters were attached to quit before the read() call. The cause is that we unconditionally destroy the grouping when we remove counters from their context. Fix this by splitting off the group destroy from the list removal such that perf_event_remove_from_context() does not do this and change perf_event_release() to do so.
