Subject: [PATCH] libnuma: fix obo error in set_thread_constraints
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 07:12:19 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090810111219.GA13549@hmsreliant.think-freely.org> (raw)

Hey all-
	Patch to fix an obo error in set_thread_constraints.  nodes_alowed_list
gets allocated to be exactly the length needed, But since theres a newline in
the buffer array, we only copy 2 bytes, and fail to copy the the last character,
so we fail to terminate the string in nodes_allowed_list.  As such we can't use
strlen on nodes_allowed_list safely. Instead compute the end of the string using
buffer.
