Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: perf/core: Fix invalid wait context in ctx_sched_in() Lockdep found a bug in the event scheduling when a pinned event was failed and wakes up the threads in the ring buffer like below. It seems it should not grab a wait-queue lock under perf-context lock. Let's do it with irq_work.
