The patch titled Subject: proc: use %u for pid printing and slightly less stack has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is proc-use-%u-for-pid-printing-and-slightly-less-stack.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/proc-use-%25u-for-pid-printing-and-slightly-less-stack.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/proc-use-%25u-for-pid-printing-and-slightly-less-stack.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc: use %u for pid printing and slightly less stack PROC_NUMBUF is 13 which is enough for "negative int + \n + \0". However PIDs and TGIDs are never negative and newline is not a concern, so use just 10 per integer.
