Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/7] mm: allocate mm_cpumask dynamically based on
 nr_cpu_ids

Hi Rik,

Thank you for the patch! Yet something to improve:

[auto build test ERROR on v4.17]
[also build test ERROR on next-20180620]
[cannot apply to tip/x86/core linus/master mmotm/master v4.18-rc1]
[if your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, please drop us a note to help improve the system]

config: x86_64-randconfig-x016-201824 (attached as .config)
compiler: gcc-7 (Debian 7.3.0-16) 7.3.0
reproduce:
        # save the attached .config to linux build tree
        make ARCH=x86_64 

Note: the linux-review/Rik-van-Riel/x86-tlb-mm-make-lazy-TLB-mode-even-lazier/20180621-045620 HEAD 7f2e7d915758c367dd0515efc17af977592fa141 builds fine.
      It only hurts bisectibility.

All errors (new ones prefixed by >>):
