When CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is unset, cpumask_var_t is not a pointer but a single element array, meaning its address in a structure cannot be NULL as long as it is not the first element, which it is not. This results in a clang warning: drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/eq.c:715:14: warning: address of array 'param->affinity' will always evaluate to 'true' [-Wpointer-bool-conversion] if (!param->affinity) ~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~ 1 warning generated. The helper cpumask_available was added in commit f7e30f01a9e2 ("cpumask: Add helper cpumask_available()") to handle situations like this so use it to keep the meaning of the code the same while resolving the warning.

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.
