In case 'cpus' can end up being empty (I'm genuinely suprised it can)

I was just as surprised as you and spent the good part of a day
debugging this. However, a:

WARN_ON(cpumask_empty(cpus));

triggers at that line of code even though we check for cpumask_empty()
at the entry of the function.

the check is mandatory indeed. I would, however, just return directly in
this case:

Makes sense.

if (last < num_possible_cpus())
return;

I think you want

last >= num_possible_cpus()

here?

A more important question is, if the mask can change willy-nilly, what
is stopping it from changing between these checks? I.e. is there still a
windows that hv_cpu_number_to_vp_number(last) can return garbage?

It's not that hv_cpu_number_to_vp_number() returns garbage, the issue is
that we feed it garbage.

hv_cpu_number_to_vp_number() expects that the input would be in the
range of 0 <= X < num_possible_cpus(), and here if 'cpus' was empty we
would pass in X==num_possible_cpus() making it read out of bound.

Maybe it's worthwhile to add a WARN_ON() into
hv_cpu_number_to_vp_number() to assert as well.
