Subject: Re: [PATCH] perf probe: fix missing references to maps and map in
 thread__find_map

Hello,

I think the subject prefix should be "perf tool:" instead of "perf
probe:" as it's generic and not related to perf probe command.

First, can you pleas fix the indentation?

And I'm not sure if it's the right fix.  It returns NULL so I think we
should expect al->map and al->maps being NULL.  Maybe we need to fix the
caller to handle NULL map or maps properly..

Thanks,
Namhyung
