I believe you misunderstood my idea, and you have to think it from implementation viewpoint. The only workable way is to store the min cpu id as 'offset' and set the sbitmap depth as (max - min + 1), isn't it? Then the actual cpu id can be figured out via 'offset' + nr_bit. And the whole indexes are just spread on the actual depth. BTW, max & min is the max / min cpu id in hctx->cpu_map. So we can improve not only on 1:1, and I guess most of MQ cases can benefit from the change, since it shouldn't be usual for one ctx_map to cover both 0 & nr_cpu_id - 1. Meantime, we need to allocate the sbitmap dynamically. Thanks, Ming
