** Description changed:
+
+
+ == SRU Justification ==
+ This SRU request is for two commits, that are needed for two bug reports. The
+ first bug(1767204) is marked as a duplicate of the bug used for this SRU
+ request. The commit(3d8bba9535ac) required to fix the first bug introduced
the second
+ bug. The second bug is then fixed buy commit cd8dd032f61a.
+
+ The first issue is perf crashes due to swapped xyarray function signatures
and is
+ fixed by commit 3d8bba9535ac.
+
+ The second issue is a crash due to "refcount_inc assertion failed".
+ This second bug is introduced by picking commit 3d8bba9535ac without
+ picking commit cd8dd032f61a first.
+
+
+ == Fixes ==
+ cd8dd032f61a ("perf cgroup: Fix refcount usage")
+ 3d8bba9535ac ("perf xyarray: Fix wrong processing when closing evsel fd")
+
+ == Regression Potential ==
+ Low. Limited to perf tool.
+
+
+ == Test Case ==
+ A test kernel was built with these patches and tested by the original bug
reporter.
+ The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
+
+
+ == Original Bug Description ==
On linux-hwe-tools-4.13.0-39 in xenial:
Trying to run perf record ... --cgroup=mycgroup causes an immediate assertion
failure:
refcount_inc: Assertion `!(!refcount_inc_not_zero(r))' failed.
Confirmed fixed by patching my linux-tools package with this upstream
commit (on top of the commit in bug #1767204):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-
stable.git/commit/tools/perf/util/cgroup.c?id=cd8dd032f61abeb08d2c03bab4968a9de231a1be
