[PATCH 2/2] perf bench: futex: Sanitize -q option in requeue

From: Davidlohr Bueso
Date: Mon Sep 29 2014 - 12:41:47 EST


When given the number of threads to requeue at once by
user input, there's always the risk of this value being
larger than the total number of threads. This doesn't
make any sense, and the kernel can easily deal with
such sort of situations, hence no big deal. We should
however prevent bogus output such as:

./perf bench --repeat 2 futex requeue -q 10
Run summary [PID 22210]: Requeuing 4 threads (from [private] 0x99ef3c to 0x99ef38), 10 at a time.

[Run 1]: Requeued 10 of 4 threads in 0.0040 ms
[Run 2]: Requeued 10 of 4 threads in 0.0030 ms
Requeued 10 of 4 threads in 0.0035 ms (+-14.29%)
