No point in setting task_ctx_data if we're going to > free the ctx and try again. The task_ctx_data will be checked before use. So it wouldn't crash the system if it's NULL. The problem is that LBR stack info will not be save/store on context switch anymore. The user probably get wrong call stack information. May I know why you want to do that?
