Subject: [PATCH 3/3] cgroup: fix strstrip() abuse
Date: Fri,  2 Oct 2009 17:41:08 +0900 (JST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091002173955.5F72.A69D9226@jp.fujitsu.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20091002173635.5F6C.A69D9226@jp.fujitsu.com>

cgroup_write_X64() and cgroup_write_string() ignore the return
value of strstrip().
it makes small inconsistent behavior.

example: 
=========================
 # cd /mnt/cgroup/hoge
 # cat memory.swappiness
 60
 # echo "59 " > memory.swappiness
 # cat memory.swappiness
 59
 # echo " 58" > memory.swappiness
 bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument


This patch fixes it.
