739 * on_each_cpu_cond(): Call a function on each processor for which
740 * the supplied function cond_func returns true, optionally waiting
741 * for all the required CPUs to finish. This may include the local
742 * processor.
743 * @cond_func: A callback function that is passed a cpu id and
744 * the the info parameter. The function is called
745 * with preemption disabled. The function should
746 * return a blooean value indicating whether to IPI
747 * the specified CPU.
748 * @func: The function to run on all applicable CPUs.
749 * This must be fast and non-blocking.
750 * @info: An arbitrary pointer to pass to both functions.
751 * @wait: If true, wait (atomically) until function has
752 * completed on other CPUs.
753 * @gfp_flags: GFP flags to use when allocating the cpumask
754 * used internally by the function.
756 * The function might sleep if the GFP flags indicates a non
757 * atomic allocation is allowed.
759 * Preemption is disabled to protect against CPUs going offline but not online.
760 * CPUs going online during the call will not be seen or sent an IPI.
762 * You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or
763 * from a hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler.
