Commit Message

Dawei Li April 3, 2024, 12:51 p.m. UTC
For CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y kernel, explicit allocation of cpumask
variable on stack is not recommended since it can cause potential stack
overflow.

Instead, kernel code should always use *cpumask_var API(s) to allocate
cpumask var in config-neutral way, leaving allocation strategy to
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.

But dynamic allocation in cpuhp's teardown callback is somewhat problematic
for if allocation fails(which is unlikely but still possible):
- If -ENOMEM is returned to caller, kernel crashes for non-bringup
  teardown;
- If callback pretends nothing happened and returns 0 to caller, it may
  trap system into an in-consisitent/compromised state;

Use newly-introduced cpumask_any_and_but() to address all issues above.
It eliminates usage of temporary cpumask var in generic way, no matter how
the cpumask var is allocated.

The logic looks good to me, but I'd like the commit message updated the same as
per my comment on patch 2.

With that commit message:
