Now that struct bpf_cpumask is RCU safe, there's no need for this kfunc.
Rather than doing the following:
private(MASK) static struct bpf_cpumask __kptr *global;
int BPF_PROG(prog, s32 cpu, ...)
{
struct bpf_cpumask *cpumask;
bpf_rcu_read_lock();
cpumask = bpf_cpumask_kptr_get(&global);
if (!cpumask) {
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
return -1;
}
bpf_cpumask_setall(cpumask);
...
bpf_cpumask_release(cpumask);
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
}
Programs can instead simply do (assume same global cpumask):
int BPF_PROG(prog, ...)
{
struct bpf_cpumask *cpumask;
bpf_rcu_read_lock();
cpumask = global;
if (!cpumask) {
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
return -1;
}
bpf_cpumask_setall(cpumask);
...
bpf_rcu_read_unlock();
}
In other words, no extra atomic acquire / release, and less boilerplate
code.
This patch removes both the kfunc, as well as its selftests and
documentation.

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.
