Subject: [PATCH -tip/cpus4096-v2] cpumask: fix cpumask of call_function_data
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2008 21:47:20 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49015358.9050308@ct.jp.nec.com> (raw)

From: Hiroshi Shimamoto <h-shimamoto@ct.jp.nec.com>

The following assignment in smp_call_function_many() may cause unexpected
behavior, when !CPUMASK_OFFSTACK.
	data->cpumask = allbutself;

Because it copys pointer of stack and the value will be modified after
exit from smp_call_function_many().

The type of cpumask field of call_function_data structure should be
cpumask_var_t and an operation to assign is needed.
