Subject: cpumask: remove unused mask field from struct irqaction.
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ef79f8e191722dbc1fc33bdfc448f572266c37e9;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

cpumask: remove unused mask field from struct irqaction.

Up until 1.1.83, the primitive human tribes used struct sigaction for
interrupts.  The sa_mask field was overloaded to hold a pointer to the
name.

When someone created the new "struct irqaction" they carried across
the "mask" field as a kind of ancestor worship: the fact that it was
unused makes clear its spiritual significance.
