Subject: [PATCH] mm: Fix off-by-one bug in print_nodes_state
Date: Sun, 27 Nov 2011 00:42:53 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1322322173-14401-1-git-send-email-ozaki.ryota@gmail.com> (raw)
/sys/devices/system/node/{online,possible} involve a garbage byte
because print_nodes_state returns content size + 1. To fix the bug,
the patch changes the use of cpuset_sprintf_cpulist to follow the
use at other places, which is clearer and safer.
This bug was introduced since v2.6.24 (bde631a51876f23e9).
