[LTP] [PATCH 1/1] do not test undefined behavior

[Jan Stancek]

----- Original Message -----
> The test_flags() function's first test for each file is an attempt

> "cgroup: unify cgroup_write_X64() and cgroup_write_string()".
> With the new behavior, attempting to write a space character into
> a flag file returns EINVAL; I find this behavior more consistent.

> Flag files are an interface which is known to expect numeric values.
> We already have a test in test_flags() which covers invalid input.
> We should not attempt to write a space into a flag file because

Hi,

no objections to change you are proposing, just comments on format:

You're missing Signed-off-by line. 
Patch appears to be mangled, all tabs were replaced by spaces.

Did you send the patch with git send-email? Would you care to
try resend? 

Regards,
Jan
