kvm_make_vcpus_request_mask() already disables preemption so just like kvm_make_all_cpus_request_except() it can be switched to using pre-allocated per-cpu cpumasks. This allows for improvements for both users of the function: in Hyper-V emulation code 'tlb_flush' can now be dropped from 'struct kvm_vcpu_hv' and kvm_make_scan_ioapic_request_mask() gets rid of dynamic allocation. cpumask_available() checks in kvm_make_vcpu_request() and kvm_kick_many_cpus() can now be dropped as they checks for an impossible condition: kvm_init() makes sure per-cpu masks are allocated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
