From 881097c0549f3818f5aa31af8ccb49213bd99bed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Thu, 24 Apr 2025 18:11:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix confusing aux iteration While an event tears down all links to it as an aux, the iteration happens on the event's group leader instead of the group itself. If the event is a group leader, it has no effect because the event is also its own group leader. But otherwise there would be a risk to detach all the siblings events from the wrong group leader. It just happens to work because each sibling's aux link is tested against the right event before proceeding. Also the ctx lock is the same for the events and their group leader so the iteration is safe. Yet the iteration is confusing. Clarify the actual intent.
