Ming Lei aeeb4e4e49 genirq/affinity: Don't pass irq_affinity_desc array to irq_build_affinity_masks
[ Upstream commit e7bdd7f0cb ]

Prepare for abstracting irq_build_affinity_masks() into a public function
for assigning all CPUs evenly into several groups.

Don't pass irq_affinity_desc array to irq_build_affinity_masks, instead
return a cpumask array by storing each assigned group into one element of
the array.

This allows to provide a generic interface for grouping all CPUs evenly
from a NUMA and CPU locality viewpoint, and the cost is one extra allocation
in irq_build_affinity_masks(), which should be fine since it is done via
GFP_KERNEL and irq_build_affinity_masks() is a slow path anyway.

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.
