Issue spotted on a Power9 system with Ubuntu Eoan installed, the
N_NODES obtained from the file contains only "0,8":
$ cat /sys/devices/system/node/has_normal_memory
0,8
This will cause the N_NODES calculation in cpuset_funcs.sh failed with:
cpuset_funcs.sh: arithmetic expression: expecting EOF: "0,8 + 1"
As it's expecting the number of a range (dash seperated), but not comma
seperated nodes. And this is causing failures to any test that's calling
this cpuset_funcs.sh:
* cpuset_base_ops
* cpuset_exclusive
* cpuset_hierarchy
* cpuset_hotplug cpuset_inherit
* cpuset_load_balance
* cpuset_memory cpuset_memory_pressure
* cpuset_memory_spread
* cpuset_sched_domains
* cpuset_syscall
Improve the node number calculation by replacing the comma with space,
iterate through them to count the number of nodes. If we ever encounter
a range format like "3-6", use shell substitution to get these two
numbers and with their difference plus 1 to get the number of nodes in
this range.
Let's assume some extreme examples, if N_NODES is:
0,2,4-6,8
In this case the imporoved algorithm will give you 6.
And if N_NODES is:
0,2,4-6,8,11-15
This will get you 11.
Patch tested with different arches and Ubuntu kernels, and it works as
expected.
