[PATCH v5 1/2] fs/resctrl: Report invalid domain ID when parsing io_alloc
From: Aaron Tomlin
Date: Tue Feb 10 2026 - 16:09:00 EST
The last_cmd_status file is intended to report details about the most
recent resctrl filesystem operation, specifically to aid in diagnosing
failures.
However, when parsing io_alloc_cbm, if a user provides a domain ID that
does not exist in the resource, the operation fails with -EINVAL without
updating last_cmd_status. This results in inconsistent behaviour where
the system call reports an error, but the status file may misleadingly
report "ok" (retained from a previous successful operation), leaving the
user unaware that the failure was caused by an invalid domain ID.
Update resctrl_io_alloc_parse_line() to explicitly write an error
message to last_cmd_status when the target domain ID cannot be found.
