From f4156d1cd1dc260cca767a6c0636625f05446799 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carl Love Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:25:43 +1000 Subject: powerpc/cell/oprofile: Avoid double vfree of profile buffer If an error occurs on opcontrol start, the event and per cpu buffers are released. If later opcontrol shutdown is called then the free function will be called again to free buffers that no longer exist. This results in a kernel oops. The following changes prevent the call to delete buffers that don't exist.
