[PATCH v2 1/2] selftests/resctrl: Fix schemata write error check

From: Wieczor-Retman, Maciej
Date: Mon Aug 28 2023 - 05:57:13 EST


Writing bitmasks to the schemata can fail when the bitmask doesn't
adhere to some 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().

Add newline to the end of the schema string so it satisfies rdt
schemata writing requirements.

Remove newline character from the schemat 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 v2:
- Rewrite patch message.
- Double "reason" buffer size to fit longer error explanation.
- Redo file interactions with syscalls instead of stdio functions.
