+ * clear_tasks_mm_cpumask - Safely clear tasks' mm_cpumask for a CPU
+ * @cpu: a CPU id
+ *
+ * This function walks all processes, finds a valid mm struct for each one and
+ * then clears a corresponding bit in mm's cpumask.  While this all sounds
+ * trivial, there are various non-obvious corner cases, which this function
+ * tries to solve in a safe manner.
+ *
+ * Also note that the function uses a somewhat relaxed locking scheme, so it may
+ * be called only for an already offlined CPU.
