Shaohui,

In fact, no need to do such check here, hotadd_hidden_nodes() can handle such invalid parameter by 
itself.

Per Andi's earlier review comments, -EPERM is odd, we'd fix it.

Pls. replace it with following code:

+#ifdef CONFIG_NODE_HOTPLUG_EMU
+static ssize_t store_nodes_probe(struct sysdev_class *class,
+                                 struct sysdev_class_attribute *attr,
+                                 const char *buf, size_t count)
+{
+       long nid;
+       int ret;
+
+       ret = strict_strtol(buf, 0, &nid);
+       if (ret == -EINVAL)
+               return ret;
+
+       ret = hotadd_hidden_nodes(nid);
+       if (!ret)
+               return count;
+       else
+               return -EIO;
+}
+#endif
