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.
