Subject: [PATCH] sched: zalloc most of the cpu masks
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2009 20:37:20 +1030	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200911022037.21282.rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)

I got a boot crash when forcing cpumasks offstack on 32 bit, because
find_new_ilb() returned 3 on my UP system (nohz.cpu_mask wasn't zeroed).

AFAICT the others need to be zeroed too: only nohz.ilb_grp_nohz_mask is
initialized before use.
