Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 26fb751ca37846c9 ("RISC-V:
Do not use cpumask data structure for hartid bitmap") in v5.17-rc1.
I am having an issue with random userspace SEGVs on Starlight Beta
(which needs out-of-tree patches). It doesn't always manifest
itself immediately, so it took a while to bisect, but I suspect the
above commit to be the culprit.
So far the Icicle looks unaffected.
Do you have a clue?
Thanks!
