[RFC][PATCH -mm] Fix getdelays.c - cpumask length and error reporting.

From: Balbir Singh <hidden>
Date: 2006-09-11 07:44:34
Also in: lkml


Fix the length passed while (un)registering cpumask. We were passing
sizeof the array, make it strlen().

Error value printed in fatal errors should be derived from the message.
The message contains an nlmsgerr embedded with an error value. We must
report that value to the user.
