[PATCH 2.6.13-rc6] cpu_exclusive sched domains build fix

From: Paul Jackson
Date: Wed Aug 24 2005 - 06:17:24 EST


As reported by Paul Mackerras <paulus@xxxxxxxxx>, the previous
patch "cpu_exclusive sched domains fix" broke the ppc64 build,
yielding error messages:

kernel/cpuset.c: In function 'update_cpu_domains':
kernel/cpuset.c:648: error: invalid lvalue in unary '&'
kernel/cpuset.c:648: error: invalid lvalue in unary '&'

On some arch's, the node_to_cpumask() is a function, returning
a cpumask_t. But the for_each_cpu_mask() requires an lvalue mask.

The following patch fixes this build failure by making a copy
of the cpumask_t on the stack.

I have _not_ yet tried to build this for ppc64 - just for ia64.
I will try that now. But the fix seems obvious enough that it
is worth sending out now.
