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.

When I build the tests with this applied I encounter the following:
resctrlfs.c: In function ‘write_schemata’: resctrlfs.c:475:14: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘open’; did you mean ‘popen’? [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] 475 | fd = open(controlgroup, O_WRONLY); | ^~~~ | popen resctrlfs.c:475:33: error: ‘O_WRONLY’ undeclared (first use in this function) 475 | fd = open(controlgroup, O_WRONLY); | ^~~~~~~~ resctrlfs.c:475:33: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
Changelog v3:
- Rename fp to fd (Ilpo)
- Remove strlen, strcspn and just use the snprintf value instead (Ilpo)
Changelog v2:
- Rewrite patch message.
- Double "reason" buffer size to fit longer error explanation.
- Redo file interactions with syscalls instead of stdio functions.

It makes code easier to understand and maintain if it is kept consistent. It is thus unexpected for open() error handling to be untouched while write() error handling is modified. I think the addition of errno in error handling of write() is helpful. Could you do the same for open()?
