Sorry, I forget to reply to all :), I write a demo to test as follows:
static int cpumask_init(void)
{
struct cpumask mask;
unsigned int cpu_id;
cpumask_clear(&mask);
cpumask_set_cpu(1, &mask);
cpumask_set_cpu(3, &mask);
cpumask_set_cpu(5, &mask);
cpu_id = find_last_bit(cpumask_bits(&mask), NR_CPUS) + 1;
pr_info("cpu_id:%d\n", cpu_id);
for (; i < nr_cpu_ids; i++) {
pr_info("%d: cpu_%d\n", i, cpumask_nth(i, &mask));
}
return 0;
}
[ 1.337020][ T1] cpu_id:6
[ 1.337338][ T1] 0: cpu_1
[ 1.337558][ T1] 1: cpu_3
[ 1.337751][ T1] 2: cpu_5
[ 1.337960][ T1] 3: cpu_64
[ 1.338183][ T1] 4: cpu_64
[ 1.338387][ T1] 5: cpu_64
[ 1.338594][ T1] 6: cpu_64
In summary, the nr_cpu_ids = last_bit + 1, and cpumask_nth() return the nth cpu_id.
