After I changed perf top to use the hist_entry_iter, it needed to protect the whole hist_entry_iter__add() by hists->lock so the perf_top__record_precise_ip() should be called with the lock acquired. I might remove the lock in the function completely, but it seemed not good since it goes to sleep with the lock then. So I added the (reverse) unlock/lock dance to avoid it. So yes, I think I need to add a comment to explain this. :) Thanks, Namhyung -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
