Writing bitmasks to the schemata can fail when the bitmask doesn't adhere to constraints defined by what a particular CPU supports. Some example of constraints are max length or having contiguous bits. The driver should properly return errors when any rule concerning bitmask format is broken. Resctrl FS returns error codes from fprintf() only when fclose() is called. Current error checking scheme allows invalid bitmasks to be written into schemata file and the selftest doesn't notice because the fclose() error code isn't checked. Substitute fopen(), flose() and fprintf() with open(), close() and write() to avoid error code buffering between fprintf() and fclose(). Remove newline character from the schema string after writing it to the schemata file so it prints correctly before function return. Pass the string generated with strerror() to the "reason" buffer so the error message is more verbose. Extend "reason" buffer so it can hold longer messages.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
