This shouldn't be necessary now.

Should we also have:
if (leader->core.nr_members == 1)
leader->core.nr_members = 0;
Other wise say:
{instructions,cycles}
with a remove of cycles becomes:
{instructions}, cycles
rather than the previous:
instructions,cycles
Actually, looking at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220512061308.1152233-2-irogers@google.com/
+ /* Reset the leader count if all entries were removed. */
+ if (leader->core.nr_members)
+ leader->core.nr_members = 0;
is wrong and should be:
+ /* Reset the leader count if all entries were removed. */
+ if (leader->core.nr_members == 1)
+ leader->core.nr_members = 0;
I'll fix and re-send.
Thanks,
Ian
