From fed66e2cdd4f127a43fd11b8d92a99bdd429528c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 10:32:01 +0200 Subject: perf: Fix fasync handling on inherited events Vince reported that the fasync signal stuff doesn't work proper for inherited events. So fix that. Installing fasync allocates memory and sets filp->f_flags |= FASYNC, which upon the demise of the file descriptor ensures the allocation is freed and state is updated. Now for perf, we can have the events stick around for a while after the original FD is dead because of references from child events. So we cannot copy the fasync pointer around. We can however consistently use the parent's fasync, as that will be updated.
