Hi Vernon,
In all that cases, nr_cpu_ids must be used. The difference is that
nr_cpumask_bits is an upper limit for possible CPUs, and it's derived
from compile-time NR_CPUS, unless CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is enabled.
nr_cpu_ids is an actual number of CPUS as counted on boot.
So, nr_cpu_ids is always equal or less than nr_cpumask_bits, and we'd
compare with the smaller number.
Nor sure, but maybe it's worth to introduce a macro like:
#define valid_cpuid(cpu) (cpu) < nr_cpu_ids
Thanks,
Yury
