Subject: [PATCH v2] nodemask: reduce bitmap width to nr_node_ids in __nodemask_pr_numnodes()
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 15:51:04 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260713075104.2196-1-lirongqing@baidu.com> (raw)
From: Li RongQing <lirongqing@baidu.com>
__nodemask_pr_numnodes() currently returns MAX_NUMNODES as the field
width for '%*pb[l]' nodemask printing. MAX_NUMNODES is a compile-time
upper bound and can be much larger than the runtime node id range,
resulting in excessive zero padding in bitmap-form output.
For example, /proc/<pid>/status prints Mems_allowed with '%*pb' using
the nodemask_pr_args() helper. On systems built with MAX_NUMNODES=1024
but booted with a much smaller possible-node range, this produces:
Mems_allowed: 00000000,00000000,...,00000003
Switch to nr_node_ids, matching the behavior of cpumask_pr_args() which
uses nr_cpu_ids. This reduces the output width from MAX_NUMNODES bits
to the runtime node id range:
Mems_allowed: 3
Visible impact on in-tree users:
- Bitmap format ('%*pb') users:
* /proc/<pid>/status Mems_allowed (format changes as shown above)
- List format ('%*pbl') users, output is unchanged, as list formatter
only prints set bit ranges:
* /sys/devices/system/node/{possible,online,has_normal_memory, ...}
* NVMe multipath sysfs numa_nodes
* memory tier sysfs nodelist
* cpuset cgroup mems and effective_mems files
* /proc/<pid>/status Mems_allowed_list
* mempolicy strings in /proc/<pid>/numa_maps
* SLUB debugfs output
* Kernel log messages printing nodemasks
Move nr_node_ids and nr_online_nodes declarations earlier in the file
to allow __nodemask_pr_numnodes() to use nr_node_ids.

Changes from v1:
- List the unaffected '%*pbl' users explicitly, noting that their
visible output is unchanged since the list formatter only prints
set bit ranges regardless of field width.
- Move the nr_node_ids and nr_online_nodes declarations earlier
