[PATCH v2 1/1] io_uring/sqpoll: do not put cpumasks on stack

From: Felix Moessbauer
Date: Mon Sep 16 2024 - 06:55:53 EST


Putting the cpumask on the stack is deprecated for a long time (since
2d3854a37e8), as these can be big. Given that, we port-over the stack
allocated mask to the cpumask allocation api.

Fixes: f011c9cf04c0 ("io_uring/sqpoll: do not allow pinning outside of cpuset")
Signed-off-by: Felix Moessbauer <felix.moessbauer@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes since v1:

- don't leak mask in case CPU is not online or too big

Best regards,
Felix
