Michael Kerrisk 77117f4fc5 Reverting blunder in commit 4699 2008-08-08 16:41:48 +00:00
Michael Kerrisk 10874173db s/PF_/AF_/ for socket family conistants. Reasons: the AF_ and 
PF_ constants have always had the same values; there never has
been a protocol family that had more than one address family,
and POSIX.1-2001 only specifies the AF_* constants.

Michael Kerrisk bfcecf8a76 Fix error conditions, now that the kernel silently ignores 
nodes outside the task's cpuset, as long as one valid node remains.

Now that cpuset man page exists, we can refer to it.  Remove
stale comment regarding lack thereof.

Michael Kerrisk cdba92536d Lee Schermerhorn 
Fix up the error return for nodemask containing nodes disallowed by
the process' current cpuset.  Disallowed nodes are now silently ignored,
as long as the nodemask contains at least one node that is on-line,
allowed by the process' cpuset and has memory.

Now that we have a cpuset man page, we can refer to cpusets directly
in the man page text.
