From 30ca60c15a725f655e5d3f14e0238a066bc5aeb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Travis Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 15:06:55 -0700 Subject: cpumask: add cpumask_scnprintf_len function Add a new function cpumask_scnprintf_len() to return the number of characters needed to display "len" cpumask bits. The current method of allocating NR_CPUS bytes is incorrect as what's really needed is 9 characters per 32-bit word of cpumask bits (8 hex digits plus the seperator [','] or the terminating NULL.) This function provides the caller the means to allocate the correct string length.
