In general it's preferable to avoid placing cpumasks on the stack, as for large values of NR_CPUS these can consume significant amounts of stack space and make stack overflows more likely. Use cpumask_of() to avoid the need for a temporary cpumask on the stack Signed-off-by: Dawei Li <set_pte_at@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/watchdog/octeon-wdt-main.c | 6 +----- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/watchdog/octeon-wdt-main.c b/drivers/watchdog/octeon-wdt-main.c index 0fe71f7e66d5..52d49e4e35a0 100644 --- a/drivers/watchdog/octeon-wdt-main.c +++ b/drivers/watchdog/octeon-wdt-main.c @@ -381,11 +381,7 @@ static int octeon_wdt_cpu_online(unsigned int cpu) /* Must set the irq affinity here */ if (octeon_has_feature(OCTEON_FEATURE_CIU3)) { - cpumask_t mask; - - cpumask_clear(&mask); - cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, &mask); - irq_set_affinity(irq, &mask); + irq_set_affinity(irq, cpumask_of(cpu)); } cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, &irq_enabled_cpus); -- 2.25.1
