From 7eac7e9e726c1b136bd7e0ad6671ce315f48bb18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pierre Habouzit Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2009 14:16:00 +0200 Subject: perf util: Fix do_read() to fail on EOF instead of busy-looping While toying with perf, I've noticed that perf record can easily enter a busy loop when doing something as silly as: $ perf record -A ls Yeah, do_read here really wants to read a known size, not being able to should die(), not busy-loop ;) That was the cause for the bug.
