    perf/core: Fix aux_mmap_count vs aux_refcount order · b79ccadd
    Alexander Shishkin authored
    
    
    The order of accesses to ring buffer's aux_mmap_count and aux_refcount
    has to be preserved across the users, namely perf_mmap_close() and
    perf_aux_output_begin(), otherwise the inversion can result in the latter
    holding the last reference to the aux buffer and subsequently free'ing
    it in atomic context, triggering a warning.

    This patch puts the checks in perf_aux_output_begin() in the same order
    as that of perf_mmap_close().
