Use actual CPU number instead of hardcoded value to decide the size of 'cpu_used_mask' in 'struct sw_flow'. Below is the reason. 'struct cpumask cpu_used_mask' is embedded in struct sw_flow. Its size is hardcoded to CONFIG_NR_CPUS bits, which can be 8192 by default, it costs memory and slows down ovs_flow_alloc. To address this: Redefine cpu_used_mask to pointer. Append cpumask_size() bytes after 'stat' to hold cpumask. Initialization cpu_used_mask right after stats_last_writer. APIs like cpumask_next and cpumask_set_cpu never access bits beyond cpu count, cpumask_size() bytes of memory is enough.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
