[Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen/sched: fix a potential issue with core scheduling



cpupool_online_cpumask() is used by credit and rt scheduler. It returns
all the cpus of a cpupool or all online cpus in case no cpupool is
specified.

The "no cpupool" case can be dropped, as no scheduler other than the
init scheduler will ever work on cpus not associated with any cpupool.

As the individual schedulers should only ever work on scheduling
resources instead of individual cpus, their cpupool_online_cpumask()
use should be replaced by cpupool->res_valid.

Note that only with core scheduling active this might result in
potential problems, as with cpu scheduling both masks are identical.
