Subject: [PATCH] smp: Fix a potential usage of stale nr_cpus
Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2020 15:10:20 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200614071020.86037-1-songmuchun@bytedance.com> (raw)

The get_option() maybe return 0, it means that the nr_cpus is
not initialized. Then we will use the stale nr_cpus to initialize
the nr_cpu_ids. So fix it.
