There you go:

$ task -e offcore_response_0:DMND_DATA_RD:local_dram -e
offcore_response_0:DMND_DATA_RD:local_dram noploop 1

Here the two instances of offcore_response are in two different event groups.
I instrumented get/put percore constraint routines. get1 is where you do the
first allocation, get2 is where you do ref++.

The scheduling algorithm will do:
- submit 1st group
- schedule 1st group
- submit 2nd group
- schedule 1st + 2nd group

Which results in the following trace:

[ 109.855713] CPU0 get1 cfg=1301b7 ref=1
[ 109.855717] CPU0 get2 cfg=1301b7 ref=2
[ 109.855718] CPU0 get2 cfg=1301b7 ref=3 <-- this one is bogus
[ 109.856606] CPU0 put cfg=1301b7 ref=2
[ 109.856609] CPU0 put cfg=1301b7 ref=1 <- don't free the resource

[ 109.856616] CPU0 get2 cfg=1301b7 ref=2
[ 109.856619] CPU0 get2 cfg=1301b7 ref=3
[ 109.856622] CPU0 get2 cfg=1301b7 ref=4
[ 110.742151] CPU0 put cfg=1301b7 ref=3
[ 110.742154] CPU0 put cfg=1301b7 ref=2

[ 110.742160] CPU0 get2 cfg=1301b7 ref=3
[ 110.742161] CPU0 get2 cfg=1301b7 ref=4
[ 110.742163] CPU0 get2 cfg=1301b7 ref=5
[ 110.854448] CPU0 put cfg=1301b7 ref=4
[ 110.854450] CPU0 put cfg=1301b7 ref=3
