This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled x86/irq: Remove the cpumask allocation from send_cleanup_vector() to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: x86-irq-remove-the-cpumask-allocation-from-send_cleanup_vector.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 5da0c1217f05d2ccc9a8ed6e6e5c23a8a1d24dd6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2015 16:30:52 +0000 Subject: x86/irq: Remove the cpumask allocation from send_cleanup_vector() From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 5da0c1217f05d2ccc9a8ed6e6e5c23a8a1d24dd6 upstream. There is no need to allocate a new cpumask for sending the cleanup vector. The old_domain mask is now protected by the vector_lock, so we can safely remove the offline cpus from it and send the IPI with the resulting mask.
