FWIW, this output is very confusing, is this a result of your
post-processing replicating the line for every 'inlined' part?

So this is fput()..

and this is a failed fork().


However, inherited events don't have a filedesc to fput(), and
similarly, a task that fails for has never been visible to attach a perf
event to because it never hits the pid-hash.

Or so it is assumed.

I'm forever getting lost in the PID code. Oleg, is there any way
find_task_by_vpid() can return a task that can still fail fork() ?
