Wouldn't this be better by making perf_session__register_idle_thread() return -1 if it fails? I.e. that way its callers won't have to immediately put the idle thread, as they are doing nothing with it.
In the future, if someone needs a handle for that thread, a lookup can be done:
idle = machine__find_thread(&session->machines.host, 0, 0);
I.e. this would be the resulting patch, please let me know if you are ok with this approach:
