    cpumask: Utility function to set n'th cpu - local cpu first · da91309e
    Amir Vadai authored
    This function sets the n'th cpu - local cpu's first.
    For example: in a 16 cores server with even cpu's local, will get the
    following values:
    cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(0, numa, cpumask) => cpu 0 is set
    cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(1, numa, cpumask) => cpu 2 is set
    ...
    cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(7, numa, cpumask) => cpu 14 is set
    cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(8, numa, cpumask) => cpu 1 is set
    cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(9, numa, cpumask) => cpu 3 is set
    ...
    cpumask_set_cpu_local_first(15, numa, cpumask) => cpu 15 is set
    
    Curently this function will be used by multi queue networking devices to
    calculate the irq affinity mask, such that as many local cpu's as
    possible will be utilized to handle the mq device irq's.
