Writing an invalid schemata with no domain values (e.g., "(L3|MB):"),
results in a silent failure, i.e. the last_cmd_status returns OK,
Check for an empty value and set the result string with a proper error
message and return -EINVAL.
Before the fix:
# mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p1
# echo "L3:" > /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
(silent failure)
# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/last_cmd_status
ok
# echo "MB:" > /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
(silent failure)
# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/last_cmd_status
ok
After the fix:
# mkdir /sys/fs/resctrl/p1
# echo "L3:" > /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/last_cmd_status
Missing 'L3' value
# echo "MB:" > /sys/fs/resctrl/p1/schemata
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat /sys/fs/resctrl/info/last_cmd_status
Missing 'MB' value
[ Tony: This is an unintended side effect of the patch earlier to allow the
user to just write the value they want to change. While allowing
user to specify less than all of the values, it also allows an
empty value. ]

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
