How about:
"Improve the assignment by supporting multiple task id assignment in
one command with the tasks separated by commas."

Ok. Will drop "retry" sentence.

Not always. In this case it does not print the pid,
rdt_last_cmd_puts("Can't move task to different control group\n");
return -EINVAL;

Sure. Will check. Then I will have to change the check below to if (!buf).
