I am not so happy that the cpumask_var_t and __free doesn't work to
together at this point due to the 'evil way' how cpumask_var_t is defined:
ifdef CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK
typedef struct cpumask *cpumask_var_t;
#else
typedef struct cpumask cpumask_var_t[1];
#endif /* CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK */
In the previous version I used
cpumask_var_t active_hctx __free(free_cpumask_var) = NULL;
which resulted in a way cleaner code. Though the kernel test robot
complained with
>> block/blk-mq-cpumap.c:155:16: error: array initializer must be an
initializer list
155 | cpumask_var_t active_hctx __free(free_cpumask_var) =
NULL;
I try to figure out if it's possible to get this somehow working with
some witchcraft (aka pre compiler magic).
