So, please break this into two patches, one adding the pr_err(), because
it touches things that are not in perf/urgent, the threaded work, and
another fixing the double free at perf_session__delete(), because that
one should go in perf/urgent, as this problem predates the threaded
record patch series:
Fixes: 145520631130bd64 ("perf data: Add perf_data__(create_dir|close_dir) functions")
Please add the above fixes for the patch fixing the double free.
Always think twice when writing 'this patch also does this extra thing',
usually this is an indication the patch should be split :-)
Thanks!
