[PATCH 06/10] cpuset: re-structure update_cpumask() a bit

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Check if cpus_allowed is to be changed before calling validate_change().

This won't change any behavior, but later it will allow us to do this:

 # mkdir /cpuset/child
 # echo $$ > /cpuset/child/tasks	/* empty cpuset */
 # echo > /cpuset/child/cpuset.cpus	/* do nothing, won't fail */

Without this patch, the last operation will fail.
