So here is the data related to the two masks.

cpu_active_mask = 00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000
XMON dest_cpu = 1024

while p->cpus_allowed =  00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000001
XMON dest_cpu = 1024

In working scenario the above data looks like

cpu_active_mask = 00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000002
XMON dest_cpu = 1

while p->cpus_allowed =  00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,
00000000,00000000,00000002
XMON dest_cpu = 1


hope i got the data correct.

Thanks
