Yes, that was intent, and after your fix below it should work.

Oh, yes. That is correct.

First path is when no online CPUs are in mask at all. This is when one
online CPU is in mask.

Yes, thanks!

Indeed, thanks.

Here is updated patch, also tested, and I forced the kmalloc failure path
to test that too...

From: Rusty Russell <rusty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
cpumask: smp_call_function_many()

Actually change smp_call_function_mask() to smp_call_function_many().

S390 has its own version, so we do trivial conversion on that too.

We have to do some dancing to figure out if 0 or 1 other cpus are in
the mask supplied and the online mask without allocating a tmp
cpumask. It's still fairly cheap.

We allocate the cpumask at the end of the call_function_data
structure: if allocation fails we fallback to smp_call_function_single
rather than using the baroque quiescing code.

(Thanks to Hiroshi Shimamoto for spotting several bugs in previous versions!)
