You had a good example in cpumask_any_but() copy that.

I saw the cpumask_any_but but wanted to avoid the for loop in the
cpumask_any_but , but now i see why from your previous comment. Without the
cpumask_t I will have to use the cpumask_any_but .. the two were related.

It can be done w/o a loop. Hint, you need a static cpumask in your
code anyway.

Ah thats right, I always need the tmp mask. Confused this with avoiding the cpumask_clear_cpu line in the code vs. using cpumask_any_but.

something like this just making it static then ?

static cpumask_t tmp;

cpumask_and(&tmp, cpu_online_mask, mask);
cpumask_clear_cpu(cpu, &tmp);
return cpumask_any(&tmp);

Thanks,
Vikas
