https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97051 Bug ID: 97051 Summary: get_mempolicy(2) inconsistent with numaif.h Product: Documentation Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: man-pages Assignee: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: nyh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Regression: No get_mempolicy(2)'s synopsis is: #include <numaif.h> int get_mempolicy(int *mode, unsigned long *nodemask, unsigned long maxnode, unsigned long addr, unsigned long flags); However, the actual prototype in numif.h (and implementation in numactl's syscall.c) is subtly different: long get_mempolicy(int *policy, const unsigned long *nmask, unsigned long maxnode, void *addr, int flags); The funny thing is, that prototype is isn't quite right either - it pretends nmask is a const pointer, but it most definitely isn't, and the data pointed by it get written to. But that isn't a man-page bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
