PATCH 1/4 seq_file: don't call bitmap_scnprintf_len()

"m->count + len < m->size" is true commonly, so bitmap_scnprintf() is commonly called. this fix saves a call to bitmap_scnprintf_len().

"m->count + len < m->size" is true commonly, so bitmap_scnprintf() is commonly called. this fix saves a call to bitmap_scnprintf_len().

This saves a call if seq buffer is already full which is not a common situation, so you're optimising for rare situations and adding branch for common ones.

Hi Alexey

I think this saves a call if seq buffer is _not_ full after called.

since calling bitmap_scnprintf() is the common situation. so we use the return value of bitmap_scnprintf() instead of bitmap_scnprintf_len().

In old code bitmap_scnprintf_len() and bitmap_scnprintf() must be called commonly.

Thanks Lai.

Hi, Alexey,

Have noticed this comment? I hold my ground, ;-)
And seq_cpumask_list(), seq_nodemask_list() are needed for print mask safely, Should I send independent patches for them if we can't make an agreement about this fix.
