Subject: [PATCH 4/7] powerpc/64s/radix: Allow mm_cpumask trimming from external sources
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2020 23:47:28 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201217134731.488135-5-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20201217134731.488135-1-npiggin@gmail.com>

mm_cpumask trimming is currently restricted to be issued by the current
thread of a single-threaded mm. This patch relaxes that and allows the
mask to be trimmed from any context.
