That "REMOVE_TABLE_IPI_MASK" thing is pretty confusing.  It *looks*
like
a constant.  It does *NOT* look at all like it consumes 'mm'.  Worst
case, just create a local variable:

	if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPUMASK_BITS))
		ipi_mask = mm_cpumask(mm);
	else
		ipi_mask = cpu_online_mask;

	on_each_cpu_mask(ipi_mask, ...);

That's a billion times more clear and it'll compile down to the same
thing.

I do think the CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPUMASK_BITS naming is also pretty
confusing, but I don't have any better suggestions.  Maybe something
with "MM_CPUMASK" in it?
Hi Dave,
Thanks for your suggestions!
I will send a new version with the local variable as you suggested
soon.
As for the config name, what about CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_MM_CPUMASK?
Thanks,
Yair
