Subject: Re: OOPS in perf_mmap_close()


I can confirm your patch avoids the oops on my machine.

It does lead to interesting behavior if I run the sample program
multiple times (with added printfs):

vince@...e2:~$ ./perf_mmap_close_bug 
mmap1=0x7f06a6e90000
mmap2=0x7f06a6e7f000
vince@...e2:~$ ./perf_mmap_close_bug 
mmap1=0x7f878a138000
mmap2=0x7f878a127000
vince@...e2:~$ ./perf_mmap_close_bug 
mmap1=0xffffffffffffffff
Error opening fd2 Invalid argument

and then it never successfully completes again.  Is this unexpected 
behavior?  Or just a normal mmap/perf interaction that I don't understand?
