Re: [PATCH mask 6/15] nonsmp-cpu-present-map

Rusty - the last bit of my shenanigans in linux/cpumask.h are below.
I welcome your comment - especially since you were the last one in here.
I think it looks a little better with this patch, but that could be a
matter of taste.

Ashok - I've put lkml on the Cc list. If someone there finds issue
with this, better to see it sooner than later.

Good questions. What wasn't visible to you at the time you replied was
that I was experimenting with making all three maps (online, present and
possible) treated this 'new' way, removing the big ifdef CONFIG_SMP for
them from linux/cpumask.h, and defining all three of them in
kernel/sched.c in the case CONFIG_SMP is not defined.

This is not a very big change. It's the last step of my planned cpumask
cleanup. Whether you, Rusty or others will find it to be an improvement
or not I don't know.

The other maps were already defined by my patch set, in the case CONFIG_SMP is
_not_ defined, in kernel/sched.c. Putting cpu_present_map there as well is
consistent with that change.

Interesting idea. I tried playing around with this avenue, but didn't come
up with any code that I preferred to what I ended up with, below. If you
would like to offer up some code - I'd be interested to see it.

You're quite right that the special casing is not so good. With the
patch below, I went the other way - removing the big #ifdef CONFIG_SMP
from the other two as well.

Well - I suspect Andrew might not spend much of his time arbitrating this.
He usually has more serious stuff to work on. Best if we can agree.

Consider the following patch - it goes on top of the sequence that I published
May 6 under the Subject: [PATCH mask 0/15] bitmap and cpumask cleanup.
I have built it for i386 (SMP and not), sparc and ia64 (sn2_defconfig),
and I have booted it on sn2.

To be clear, my 'quilt' series file contains, after the patches for
2.6.6-rc3-mm2, the lines:
