perf/aux: Fix the aux_output group inheritance fix
Commit f733c6b508bc ("perf/core: Fix inheritance of aux_output groups") adds a NULL pointer dereference in case inherit_group() races with perf_release(), which causes the below crash: > BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 000000000000010b > #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode > #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page > PGD 3b203b067 P4D 3b203b067 PUD 3b2040067 PMD 0 > Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN > CPU: 0 PID: 315 Comm: exclusive-group Tainted: G B 5.4.0-rc3-00181-g72e1839403cb-dirty #878 > RIP: 0010:perf_get_aux_event+0x86/0x270 > Call Trace: > ? __perf_read_group_add+0x3b0/0x3b0 > ? __kasan_check_write+0x14/0x20 > ? __perf_event_init_context+0x154/0x170 > inherit_task_group.isra.0.part.0+0x14b/0x170 > perf_event_init_task+0x296/0x4b0 Fix this by skipping over events that are getting closed, in the inheritance path.
