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.
