Okay, I see.

I'm not sure,
if next_cpu == smp_processor_id() &&
cpumask_next_and(next_cpu, ...) >= nr_cpu_ids

we can go fastpath, right?

> + if (cpu == smp_processor_id())

so, next_cpu == smp_processor_id() ?

first path, should return here?

I guess, another issue, should skip when cpu == smp_processor_id().

I guess, clear itself is needed.
