[PATCH] cpumask: Omit terminating null byte in cpumap_print_{list,bitmask}_to_buf

From: Tobias Klauser
Date: Thu Sep 16 2021 - 18:27:11 EST


The changes in the patch series [1] introduced a terminating null byte
when reading from cpulist or cpumap sysfs files, for example:

$ xxd /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpulist
00000000: 302d 310a 00 0-1..

Before this change, the output looked as follows:

$ xxd /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpulist
00000000: 302d 310a 0-1.

Fix this regression by excluding the terminating null byte from the
returned length in cpumap_print_list_to_buf and
cpumap_print_bitmask_to_buf.
