How about:

        if (val == CS_MODE_PERF)
                return -EBUSY;
 
+       /* Don't let perf disturb sysFS sessions */
+       if (val == CS_MODE_SYSFS && mode = CS_MODE_PERF)
+               return -EBUSY;
+
        /* Nothing to do, the tracer is already enabled. */
        if (val == CS_MODE_SYSFS)
                goto out;


I just find it more readable that way.

Thanks,
Mathieu
