With CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y cpumask_var_t is a struct cpumask pointer, otherwise a struct cpumask array with a single element. Some code dealing with cpumasks needs to validate that a cpumask_var_t is not a NULL pointer when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y. This is typically done by performing the check always, regardless of the underlying type of cpumask_var_t. This works in both cases, however clang raises a warning like this when CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n: kernel/irq/manage.c:839:28: error: address of array 'desc->irq_common_data.affinity' will always evaluate to 'true' [-Werror,-Wpointer-bool-conversion] Add the inline helper cpumask_available() which only performs the pointer check if CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y.
