Now if do the reverse 1.10 kB you get ~1126 which is not the same as > 11000.

My recommendation would be to deprecate all _mb files and instead have _bytes files which report a simple integer - the number of bytes. Leave all the unit conversion to user-space. Linus once told me that he prefers sysfs files to always be in basic units, and that decimals are fine. So use "seconds" for time, even if that means 0.002 for 2 milliseconds. Use bytes for storage, etc. NeilBrown > >> Signed-off-by: NeilBrown >> --- >> .../lustre/lustre/obdclass/lprocfs_status.c | 47 +++----------------- >> 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/obdclass/lprocfs_status.c b/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/obdclass/lprocfs_status.c >> index 568e6623e0c8..bd24e48f6145 100644 >> --- a/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/obdclass/lprocfs_status.c >> +++ b/drivers/staging/lustre/lustre/obdclass/lprocfs_status.c >> @@ -205,53 +205,20 @@ static void obd_connect_data_seqprint(struct seq_file *m, >> int lprocfs_read_frac_helper(char *buffer, unsigned long count, long val, >> int mult) >> { >> - long decimal_val, frac_val; >> int prtn; >> >> if (count < 10) >> return -EINVAL; >> >> - decimal_val = val / mult; >> - prtn = snprintf(buffer, count, "%ld", decimal_val); >> - frac_val = val % mult; >> - >> - if (prtn < (count - 4) && frac_val > 0) { >> - long temp_frac; >> - int i, temp_mult = 1, frac_bits = 0; >> - >> - temp_frac = frac_val * 10; >> - buffer[prtn++] = '.'; >> - while (frac_bits < 2 && (temp_frac / mult) < 1) { >> - /* only reserved 2 bits fraction */ >> - buffer[prtn++] = '0'; >> - temp_frac *= 10; >> - frac_bits++; >> - } >> - /* >> - * Need to think these cases : >> - * 1. #echo x.00 > /sys/xxx output result : x >> - * 2. #echo x.0x > /sys/xxx output result : x.0x >> - * 3. #echo x.x0 > /sys/xxx output result : x.x >> - * 4. #echo x.xx > /sys/xxx output result : x.xx >> - * Only reserved 2 bits fraction. >> - */ >> - for (i = 0; i < (5 - prtn); i++) >> - temp_mult *= 10; >> - >> - frac_bits = min((int)count - prtn, 3 - frac_bits); >> - prtn += snprintf(buffer + prtn, frac_bits, "%ld", >> - frac_val * temp_mult / mult); >> + prtn = snprintf(buffer, count, "%ld.%02lu", >> + val / mult, >> + (val % mult) / (mult / 100)); >> >> + /* Strip trailing zeroes, and trailing '.' */ >> + while (prtn && buffer[prtn-1] == '0') >> + prtn--; >> + if (prtn && buffer[prtn-1] == '.') >> prtn--; >> - while (buffer[prtn] < '1' || buffer[prtn] > '9') { >> - prtn--; >> - if (buffer[prtn] == '.') { >> - prtn--; >> - break; >> - } >> - } >> - prtn++; >> - } >> buffer[prtn++] = '\n'; >> return prtn; >> } >> >> >> -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
