Re: [PATCH V3 5/7] genirq/affinity: move group_cpus_evenly() into lib/

+/**
+ * group_cpus_evenly - Group all CPUs evenly per NUMA/CPU locality
+ * @numgrps: number of groups
+ *
+ * Return: cpumask array if successful, NULL otherwise. And each element
+ * includes CPUs assigned to this group
+ *
+ * Try to put close CPUs from viewpoint of CPU and NUMA locality into
+ * same group, and run two-stage grouping:
+ * 1) allocate present CPUs on these groups evenly first
+ * 2) allocate other possible CPUs on these groups evenly
+ *
+ * We guarantee in the resulted grouping that all CPUs are covered, and
+ * no same CPU is assigned to different groups

nit: I'd have "no same CPU is assigned to multiple groups"

nit: The name group_cpus_evenly() would imply an action on some cpus, when it's just calculating some masks - I think "masks" should be at least included in the name

Are there any users which are available as modules? As I see, the only users are blk-mq-cpumap.c and irq/affinity.c, which I guess aren't available as modules.
