I agree and it has the side-effect of needing another #ifdef at the end
of the variable block for "i". I think I will go with:
if (nr) {
int i;
/* If nr is non-zero it means that 'pid' is valid and that
* ns, i.e. the pid namespace associated with the procfs
* instance, is in the pid namespace hierarchy of pid.
* Start at one below the already printed level.
*/
for (i = ns->level + 1; i <= pid->level; i++)
seq_put_decimal_ull(m, "\t", pid->numbers[i].nr);
}
I will re-work the comment block and then send a new version of
the patch.
Thanks,
Christian
