This way you have to add 2 wrappers: #define sysfs_emit_cpulist(buf, mask) \ sysfs_emit((buf), "%*pbl\n", cpumask_pr_args(mask)) and #define sysfs_emit_cpumask(buf, mask) \ sysfs_emit((buf), "%*pb\n", cpumask_pr_args(mask)) There are people who complain even about DIV_ROUND_UP(), how hard it is to keep all that helpers in memory, and all that things. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260304124805.GB2277644@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net/ Disagree about DIV_ROUND_UP() (because yeah, I'm bad in math), but this sysfs_emit_cpumask() is a complete syntax redundancy. Once we have it, people will do this type of things: tmp = kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE); sysfs_emit_cpumask(tmp, mask); sysfs_emit(buf, "my prefix: %s\n", tmp); kfree(tmp); Patch #1 in this series is one example. My series that removes bitmap_print_to_pagebuf() will give you more: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260303200842.124996-2-ynorov@nvidia.com/ It doesn't mean that *you* will misuse the API. It means that *I* will have to inspect the codebase for that type of bugs periodically. So, the overall state is simple: we've got well-established printf()-like functions that people know and understand, and we also have exotic APIs here and there with a non-standard interface and a clear potential to misuse. In this case, they have historical roots, but now we don't need them. > That has the advantage of letting you change how it is done (again) > without having to find all the callers. You mean things like silencing the prints or adding a prefix? If you believe that perf subsystem would benefit from it - that's OK. Just please keep it local. The kernel globally doesn't need to 'change how it is done' beyond the lib/vsprintf. The kernel really needs people to use something that the other people are familiar with.
