.I cpumask_t
data type that is used internally by the kernel to
represent the CPU set bit mask.
+
+The \fBcpu_set_t\fR affinity mask size provided by glibc only allows for upto
+1024 CPUs. It is possible to build Linux kernels with greater than 1024
+CPUs. Any application using the statically sized \fBcpu_set_t\fR will fail
+with \fBEINVAL\fR on such kernels. It is thus recommended that applications
+avoid using the statically sized \fBcpu_set_t\fR type, and instead dynamically
+allocate a mask using the CPU_*_S macros described in the \fBCPU_SET(3)\fR man
+page. Since it is not possible to determine ahead of time what \fBNR_CPUS\fR
+value the kernel was built with, applications must be prepared to catch
+\fBEINVAL\fR, and retry the command with a larger dynamically allocated mask.
+The example that follows illustrates portable usage.
