Hi Edward, Wei,

Yeah, Wei was correct that both sched_getaffinity() and sched_setaffinity()
should use TST_EXP_PASS() because return only 0 on success (non-zero value is in
the mask, thus using TST_EXP_POSITIVE() was wrong. Ideally this would be in a
separate commit (before your changes), but I'm ok just to note it in the commit
message.

I was also thinking why test macros are used in setup() function (completely
unrelated to the change), I would just use plain code:

if (!sched_getaffinity(0, sizeof(mask), &mask))
	tst_brk(TBROK | TERRNO, "sched_getaffinity() failed");

> +	if (CPU_COUNT(&mask) == 0)
> +		tst_brk(TBROK, "No cpus available");

I was thinking a while and looking in other software which uses CPU_COUNT().
And agree this should be probably tst_brk(TBROK)
