Re: [PATCH v4 1/2] selftests/resctrl: Fix schemata write error check

On Fri, 22 Sep 2023, Maciej Wieczor-Retman wrote:

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.

Changelog v4:

• Unify error checking between open() and write(). (Reinette)
• Add fcntl.h for glibc backward compatiblitiy. (Reinette)

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.
