Why do you need static storage for that information when the only purpose is
to printk it in init?

What's that initialization for?

I don't think you need that complexity.

	target = cpumask_any_but(topology_sibling_cpumask(cpu), cpu);
	if (target >= nr_cpumask_bits)
		cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, &cpu_mask);
	   
Simply because if there is a cpu aside of the new one already in the sibling
mask, then it is also in cpu_mask. Hmm?

And of course if CPU_DOWN_PREPARE fails and this is the last cpu in the
compute unit, nothing takes over the duty for this compute unit. So you need
to handle CPU_DOWN_FAILED ....

Why do you need an intermediate 'tmp' for this?

Err. What guarantees that in each compute unit is one sibling online? And what
value has that WARN_ON? We don't care about the stack trace here, because it's
known already.

Of course you just continue in that case and end up with:

       	      cpumask_set_cpu(nr_cpu_ids, &cpu_mask);

i.e. you try to do that on an invalid bit, which will trigger a justified
warning in cpumask_set_cpu() if CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS is enabled.

Aside of that this only handles a single socket. And why do you do the above
if you handle the same thing in the loop below?

This still leaks the cpu notifier. .....

Why is the number of compute units interesting at all?
