No. Changed to __cpumask_set_cpu(). Will check for other instances where I can skip LOCK prefix. > How is that serialized and kept relevant in the face of hotplug? mktme_leadcpus is updated on hotplug startup and teardowns. > Also, do you really need O(n^2) to find the first occurence of a value > in an array? How about this O(n)? unsigned long *pkg_map; int cpu, pkgid; if (!zalloc_cpumask_var(&mktme_leadcpus, GFP_KERNEL)) return -ENOMEM; pkg_map = bitmap_zalloc(topology_max_packages(), GFP_KERNEL); if (!pkg_map) { free_cpumask_var(mktme_leadcpus); return -ENOMEM; } for_each_online_cpu(cpu) { pkgid = topology_physical_package_id(cpu); if (!test_and_set_bit(pkgid, pkg_map)) __cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mktme_leadcpus); }
