From 74c3337c2fc6389d3a57a622a936036b6db6b2e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2010 11:40:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix group moving Matt found we trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in perf_group_attach() when we take the move_group path in perf_event_open(). Since we cannot de-construct the group (we rely on it to move the events), we have to simply ignore the double attach. The group state is context invariant and doesn't need changing.
