I'd change that last sentence to: Given that, change the on-stack allocation of allowed_mask to be dynamically allocated. > diff --git a/io_uring/sqpoll.c b/io_uring/sqpoll.c > index 7adfcf6818ff..44b9f58e11b6 100644 > --- a/io_uring/sqpoll.c > +++ b/io_uring/sqpoll.c > @@ -461,15 +461,22 @@ __cold int io_sq_offload_create(struct io_ring_ctx *ctx, > return 0; > > if (p->flags & IORING_SETUP_SQ_AFF) { > - struct cpumask allowed_mask; > + cpumask_var_t allowed_mask; > int cpu = p->sq_thread_cpu; > > ret = -EINVAL; > if (cpu >= nr_cpu_ids || !cpu_online(cpu)) > goto err_sqpoll; > - cpuset_cpus_allowed(current, &allowed_mask); > - if (!cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, &allowed_mask)) > + if (!alloc_cpumask_var(&allowed_mask, GFP_KERNEL)) { > + ret = -ENOMEM; > goto err_sqpoll; > + } > + cpuset_cpus_allowed(current, allowed_mask); > + if (!cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, allowed_mask)) { > + free_cpumask_var(allowed_mask); > + goto err_sqpoll; > + } > + free_cpumask_var(allowed_mask); > sqd->sq_cpu = cpu; The kernel generally does: ret = -ESOMEERROR; if (fails_check) goto err_label; and you're now mixing the two here. To keep it consistent, it'd be better to do : ret = -ENOMEM before the alloc, and then re-set it to -EINVAL before the cpumask check. -- Jens Axboe
