Subject: cgroup/cpuset: Fix retval in update_cpumask()
From: Kamalesh Babulal <kamalesh.babulal@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 25125a4762835d62ba1e540c1351d447fc1f6c7c upstream.
The update_cpumask(), checks for newly requested cpumask by calling
validate_change(), which returns an error on passing an invalid set
of cpu(s). Independent of the error returned, update_cpumask() always
returns zero, suppressing the error and returning success to the user
on writing an invalid cpu range for a cpuset. Fix it by returning
retval instead, which is returned by validate_change().
