cpulist_parse() uses nr_cpumask_bits as a limit to parse the passed buffer from kernel commandline. What nr_cpumask_bits represents varies depending upon the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK option: - If CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, then nr_cpumask_bits is the same as NR_CPUS, which might not represent the # of CPUs that really exist (default 64). So, there's a chance of a gap between nr_cpu_ids and NR_CPUS, which ultimately lead towards invalid cpulist_parse() operation. For example, if isolcpus=9 is passed on an 8 cpu system (CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n) it doesn't show the error that it's supposed to. This patch fixes this bug by finding the last CPU of the passed isolcpus= list and checking it against nr_cpu_ids. It also fixes the error message where the nr_cpu_ids should be nr_cpu_ids-1, since CPU numbering starts from 0.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
