Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] perf lock: Don't free "lock_seq_stat" if read_count isn't zero
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2020 17:42:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201104094229.17509-2-leo.yan@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201104094229.17509-1-leo.yan@linaro.org>
When execute command "perf lock report", it hits failure and outputs log
as follows:
perf: builtin-lock.c:623: report_lock_release_event: Assertion `!(seq->read_count < 0)' failed.
Aborted
This is an imbalance issue. The locking sequence structure
"lock_seq_stat" contains the reader counter and it is used to check if
the locking sequence is balance or not between acquiring and releasing.
If the tool wrongly frees "lock_seq_stat" when "read_count" isn't zero,
the "read_count" will be reset to zero when allocate a new structure at
the next time; thus it causes the wrong counting for reader and finally
results in imbalance issue.
To fix this issue, if detects "read_count" is not zero (means still
have read user in the locking sequence), goto the "end" tag to skip
freeing structure "lock_seq_stat".
Fixes: e4cef1f65061 ("perf lock: Fix state machine to recognize lock sequence")
