Preemption must be disabled when calling smp_call_function_many,
get_cpu would did that. Will get_online_cpus have the same behavior
like that?

That means "the value(cu_acc_power) of the compute unit", which does
not represent the value of one CPU core.

Yes, that's right.

My codes' behavior is below:

Assumed cores_per_cu is 4 and cu_number is 6, and the online cpumask
is:

        cu5  cu4  cu3  cu2  cu1  cu0
        1000_1100_0110_1011_0000_1111

After setting bits of the mask:

        1000_0100_0010_0001_0000_0001
        on   on   on   on   off  on

OK, how about below codes:

---
for (i = 0; i <= cores_per_cu / BITS_PER_LONG; i++) {
	offset = cores_per_cu % BITS_PER_LONG;
	if (i == cores_per_cu / BITS_PER_LONG) {
		cpumask_bits(src_mask)[i] = GENMASK(offset -1, 0);
		break;
	}
	cpumask_bits(src_mask)[i] = GENMASK(BITS_PER_LONG - 1, 0);
}

for (i = 0; i < cu_num; i++) {
	cpumask_shift_left(dst, src_mask, cores_per_cu * i);
	cpumask_and(res, dst, cpu_online_mask);
	cpumask_set_cpu(cpumask_any(res), mask);
}
---
