The valid cpumask range is [0, nr_cpu_ids) and cpumask_next() currently calls find_next_bit() with its input CPU ID number plus one for the bit number, giving cpumask_next() the range [-1, nr_cpu_ids - 1). seq_read_iter() and cpuinfo's start and next seq operations implement a pattern like n = cpumask_next(n - 1, mask); show(n); while (1) { ++n; n = cpumask_next(n - 1, mask); if (n >= nr_cpu_ids) break; show(n); } which will eventually result in cpumask_next() being called with nr_cpu_ids - 1. A kernel compiled with commit 78e5a3399421 ("cpumask: fix checking valid cpu range"), but not its revert, commit 80493877d7d0 ("Revert "cpumask: fix checking valid cpu range"."), will generate a warning when DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS is enabled each time /proc/cpuinfo is read. Future-proof cpuinfo by checking its input to cpumask_next() is valid.
