The patch titled Subject: proc: simpler iterations for /proc/*/cmdline has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is proc-simpler-iterations-for-proc-cmdline.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/proc-simpler-iterations-for-proc-cmdline.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/proc-simpler-iterations-for-proc-cmdline.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/process/submit-checklist.rst 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: simpler iterations for /proc/*/cmdline "rv" variable is used both as a counter of bytes transferred and an error value holder but it can be reduced solely to error values if original start of userspace buffer is stashed and used at the very end.
