From 2291990ab36b4b2d8a81b1f92e7a046e51632a60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lee Schermerhorn Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:13:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mempolicy: clean-up mpol-to-str() mempolicy formatting mpol-to-str() formats memory policies into printable strings. Currently this is only used to display "numa_maps". A subsequent patch will use mpol_to_str() for formatting tmpfs [shmem] mpol mount options, allowing us to remove essentially duplicate code in mm/shmem.c. This patch cleans up mpol_to_str() generally and in preparation for that patch. 1) show_numa_maps() is not checking the return code from mpol_to_str(). There's not a lot we can do in this context if mpol_to_str() did return the error [insufficient space in buffer]. Proposed "solution": just check, under DEBUG_VM, that callers are providing sufficient buffer space for the policy, flags, and a few nodes. This way, we'll get some display. show_numa_maps() is providing a 50-byte buffer, so it won't trip this check. 50-bytes should be sufficient unless one has a large number of nodes in a very sparse nodemask. 2) The display of the new mode flags ["static" & "relative"] was set up to display multiple flags, separated by a "bar" '|'. However, this support is incomplete--e.g., need_bar was never incremented; and currently, these two flags are mutually exclusive. So remove the "bar" support, for now, and only display one flag. 3) Use snprint() to format flags, so as not to overflow the buffer. Not that it's ever happed, AFAIK.
