That wasn't compile-tested!

This is one of the many reasons why I convert replacement patches into
incremental patches - so I can see what was done.

Here's what I queued after converting this patch into a delta:

--- a/kernel/smp.c~smp-add-func-to-ipi-cpus-based-on-parameter-func-v9
+++ a/kernel/smp.c
@@ -771,7 +771,9 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL(on_each_cpu_mask);
  * The function might sleep if the GFP flags indicates a non
  * atomic allocation is allowed.
  *
- * Preemption is disabled to protect against a hotplug event.
+ * Preemption is disabled to protect against CPU going offline but not
+ * online. CPUs going online during the call will not be seen or sent
+ * an IPI.
  *
  * You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or

And I queued a small fix to that:
