Subject: [PATCH 0/8] sched/topology: add for_each_numa_cpu() macro

for_each_cpu() is widely used in kernel, and it's beneficial to create
a NUMA-aware version of the macro.

Recently added for_each_numa_hop_mask() works, but switching existing
codebase to it is not an easy process.

This series adds for_each_numa_cpu(), which is designed to be similar to
the for_each_cpu(). It allows to convert existing code to NUMA-aware as
simple as adding a hop iterator variable and passing it inside new macro.
for_each_numa_cpu() takes care of the rest.

At the moment, we have 2 users of NUMA-aware enumerators. One is
Melanox's in-tree driver, and another is Intel's in-review driver:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230216145455.661709-1-pawel.chmielewski@intel.com/

Both real-life examples follow the same pattern:

	for_each_numa_hop_mask(cpus, prev, node) {
 		for_each_cpu_andnot(cpu, cpus, prev) {
 			if (cnt++ == max_num)
 				goto out;
 			do_something(cpu);
 		}
		prev = cpus;
 	}

With the new macro, it has a more standard look, like this:

	for_each_numa_cpu(cpu, hop, node, cpu_possible_mask) {
		if (cnt++ == max_num)
			break;
		do_something(cpu);
 	}

Straight conversion of existing for_each_cpu() codebase to NUMA-aware
version with for_each_numa_hop_mask() is difficult because it doesn't
take a user-provided cpu mask, and eventually ends up with open-coded
double loop. With for_each_numa_cpu() it shouldn't be a brainteaser.
Consider the NUMA-ignorant example:

	cpumask_t cpus = get_mask();
	int cnt = 0, cpu;

	for_each_cpu(cpu, cpus) {
		if (cnt++ == max_num)
			break;
		do_something(cpu);
 	}

Converting it to NUMA-aware version would be as simple as:

	cpumask_t cpus = get_mask();
	int node = get_node();
	int cnt = 0, hop, cpu;

	for_each_numa_cpu(cpu, hop, node, cpus) {
		if (cnt++ == max_num)
			break;
		do_something(cpu);
 	}

The latter looks more verbose and avoids from open-coding that annoying
double loop. Another advantage is that it works with a 'hop' parameter with
the clear meaning of NUMA distance, and doesn't make people not familiar
to enumerator internals bothering with current and previous masks machinery.

Yury Norov (8):
  lib/find: add find_next_and_andnot_bit()
  sched/topology: introduce sched_numa_find_next_cpu()
  sched/topology: add for_each_numa_cpu() macro
  net: mlx5: switch comp_irqs_request() to using for_each_numa_cpu
  lib/cpumask: update comment to cpumask_local_spread()
  sched/topology: export sched_domains_numa_levels
  lib: add test for for_each_numa_{cpu,hop_mask}()
  sched: drop for_each_numa_hop_mask()
