Another place I am seeing a cpu list is in numa topology:
/sys/devices/system/node/nodex/cpulist.
But the code has a BUILD_BUG_ON to guard the pagebuf:
static ssize_t node_read_cpumap(struct device *dev, bool list, char *buf)
{
ssize_t n;
cpumask_var_t mask;
struct node *node_dev = to_node(dev);
/* 2008/04/07: buf currently PAGE_SIZE, need 9 chars per 32 bits. */
BUILD_BUG_ON((NR_CPUS/32 * 9) > (PAGE_SIZE-1));
if (!alloc_cpumask_var(&mask, GFP_KERNEL))
return 0;
cpumask_and(mask, cpumask_of_node(node_dev->dev.id), cpu_online_mask);
n = cpumap_print_to_pagebuf(list, buf, mask);
free_cpumask_var(mask);
return n;
}
For lists in cpu topology, I haven't seen this while I believe we need it.
Or am I missing something?
