Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf tools: shortcut PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC probing in case of EBUSY error
Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2014 10:46:23 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <837882a41da788ce0df5e7e95534580e8b4cbb66.1410595700.git.ydroneaud@opteya.com> (raw)

In-Reply-To: <cover.1410595700.git.ydroneaud@opteya.com>

This patch is a simplification of the logic introduced as part of
commit 63914aca8f7e7a75d0ee027af7b1755c69cc1e2c ('perf tools: Show
better error message in case we fail to open counters due to EBUSY
error'): if EBUSY is reported by perf_event_open(), it will not be
possible to probe PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC, so it's safe to leave early.

Note that EBUSY errors are not really expected here since commit
038fa0b9739d7f375f3f61a2ce4f78ad44329f66 ('perf tools: Fix
PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC flag probing event type open counters due to
EBUSY error'): the perf event type used now should be safe to use
regarding -EBUSY error.
