Subject: cpuset: remove unneeded NODEMASK_ALLOC() in cpuset_sprintf_memlist()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.39-rc1~143
X-Git-Url: https://asedeno.scripts.mit.edu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9303e0c4814d2a6afca878cc35433291e862169c;p=linux.git

cpuset: remove unneeded NODEMASK_ALLOC() in cpuset_sprintf_memlist()

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.
