Hello.

Could somebody please check if this is acceptable.

Thanks.

Personally, I'd prefer the children count to be separate, something
like:

buffer += sprintf(buffer, "Threads:\t%d (%d children, %d total)",
num_threads, num_children, num_threads + num_children);

That would be rather nice, indeed.

Also, next time, make sure that linux-kernel is CC'd, not BCC'd.

Agree. It indeed look better. I too had an awk script in mind, to
parse the line. I ended up removing such formatting, because not all
process spawn child thread(s), showing num_children count as zero.
That looked bit odd. So here it is again - new wine.

Thanks.

And I would suggest three separate lines to keep it parseable!

How about this?

buffer += sprintf(buffer, "Threads:\t%d", num_threads);
if (num_children)
buffer += sprintf(buffer, " Children: %d Total: %d",
num_children, num_threads + num_children);
buffer += sprintf(buffer, "\n");

No, this:

> if (num_children)
> buffer += sprintf(buffer, "\nChildren: %d\nTotal: %d",

the newlines are essential because then you get _one_ field of
information for _each_ call of fgets().

This is perfect. Here is the patch.
Thanks.

This conflicts with the /proc changes in -mm.
Where we have manged to remove the use of the tasklist_lock.

The information in Children: is racy as it may change immediately
after you drop the lock.

Why is it interesting to report this information?
A process that cares can keep track of this in user space?
