Subject: sched: fix sched_getaffinity()
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@xxxxxxxxx>
taskset on 2.6.34-rc3 fails on one of my ppc64 test boxes with the
following error:
sched_getaffinity(0, 16, 0x10029650030) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
This box has 128 threads and 16 bytes is enough to cover it. Commit
cd3d8031eb4311e516329aee03c79a08333141f1 ("sched: sched_getaffinity():
Allow less than NR_CPUS length") is comparing this 16 bytes agains
nr_cpu_ids.
Fix it by comparing nr_cpu_ids to the number of bits in the cpumask we
pass in.
