Subject: CGroup API files: strip all trailing whitespace in cgroup_write_u64
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b7269dfc826fbf554c9e6a9eaa4e6ff95fa08656;p=linux-beck.git

CGroup API files: strip all trailing whitespace in cgroup_write_u64

This removes the need for people to remember to pass the -n flag to echo when
writing values to cgroup control files.
