We use mm cpumask for serializing against lockless page table walk. Anybody who is doing a lockless page table walk is expected to disable irq and only cpus in mm cpumask is expected do the lockless walk. This ensure that a THP split can send IPI to only cpus in the mm cpumask, to make sure there are no parallel lockless page table walk. Add the CAPI fault handling cpu to the mm cpumask so that we can do the lockless page table walk while inserting hash page table entries.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
