[PATCH v2 1/4] cpuset: Remove unneeded NODEMASK_ALLOC() in cpuset_sprintf_memlist()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It's not necessary to copy cpuset->mems_allowed to a buffer
allocated by NODEMASK_ALLOC(). Just pass it to nodelist_scnprintf().

As spotted by Paul, a side effect is we fix a bug that the function
can return -ENOMEM but the caller doesn't expect negative return
value. Therefore change the return value of cpuset_sprintf_cpulist()
and cpuset_sprintf_memlist() from int to size_t.
