[PATCH] sys_sched_getaffinity() & hotplug
Change sched_getaffinity() so that it returns a bitmap that indicates the legally schedulable cpus that a task is allowed to run on. Without this patch, if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled, sched_getaffinity() unconditionally returns (at least on IA64) a mask with NR_CPUS bits set. This conveys no useful infornmation except for a kernel compile option. This fixes a breakage we obseved running recent kernels. We have MPI jobs that use sched_getaffinity() to determine where to place their threads. Placing them on non-existant cpus is problematic :-) Signed-off-by: Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Nathan Lynch <ntl@pobox.com> Cc: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
