Subject: [PATCH v5 08/10] powerpc/smp: Allocate cpumask only after searching thread group
Date:   Mon, 10 Aug 2020 12:48:32 +0530
Message-Id: <20200810071834.92514-9-srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Precedence: bulk

If allocated earlier and the search fails, then cpu_l1_cache_map cpumask
is unnecessarily cleared. However cpu_l1_cache_map can be allocated /
cleared after we search thread group.

Please note CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is not set on Powerpc. Hence cpumask
allocated by zalloc_cpumask_var_node is never freed.
