[PATCH v3 1/1] io_uring/sqpoll: do not put cpumask on stack

From: Felix Moessbauer
Date: Mon Sep 16 2024 - 07:12:09 EST


Putting the cpumask on the stack is deprecated for a long time (since
2d3854a37e8), as these can be big. Given that, change the on-stack
allocation of allowed_mask to be dynamically allocated.

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

Changes since v2:

- reworded commit message
- make error checking consisten with pattern used in kernel
@Jens: Thanks for guiding me and helping me to get this right.
Much appreciated.

Changes since v1:

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

Best regards,
Felix
