[PATCH 08/23] arm64: topology: Use RCU to protect access to HK_TYPE_TICK cpumask
From: Waiman Long
Date: Mon Apr 20 2026 - 23:11:56 EST
As the HK_TYPE_TICK cpumask is going to be changeable at run time, we
need to use RCU to protect access to the cpumask to prevent it from
going away in the middle of the operation.
