Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 08/12] tracing: Remove WARN_ON in start_thread()
Date: Tue, 01 Dec 2020 10:58:43 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201201160006.206022360@goodmis.org> (raw)

From: Vasily Averin <vvs@virtuozzo.com>

 if start_thread() in hwlat is called when thread exists")

tracer is stopped
