[PATCH -v2] cpuset: avoid changing cpuset's cpus when -errno returned

From: Li Zefan
Date: Thu Sep 04 2008 - 23:43:20 EST


After the patch:

commit 0b2f630a28d53b5a2082a5275bc3334b10373508
Author: Miao Xie <miaox@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Jul 25 01:47:21 2008 -0700

cpusets: restructure the function update_cpumask() and update_nodemask()

It might happen that 'echo 0 > /cpuset/sub/cpus' returned failure but 'cpus'
has been changed, because cpus was changed before calling heap_init() which
may return -ENOMEM.

This patch restores the orginal behavior.
