[057/139] sched: Fix sched_getaffinity()

From: Greg KH
Date: Thu Apr 22 2010 - 16:22:29 EST


2.6.33-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 84fba5ec91f11c0efb27d0ed6098f7447491f0df upstream.

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.
