OK, here's what I've got in my tree. Ingo, I think this should go in the
current -rc to avoid nasty bugs.
BTW, the original alloc_cpumask_var did zero; that was dropped after arguments
over efficiency and fitting with other interfaces, but I clearly had the old
semantics in my head for a while.
Thanks,
Rusty.
Subject: cpumask: alloc zeroed cpumask for static cpumask_var_ts
Date: Thu, 04 Jun 2009 14:01:31 -0700
From: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@...nel.org>
These are defined as static cpumask_var_t so if MAXSMP is not used,
they are cleared already. Avoid suprises when MAXSMP is enabled.
