[PATCH v2 3/7] x86/irq: limit interrupt movement done by fixup_irqs()
Posted by Roger Pau Monne 5 months, 2 weeks ago
The current check used in fixup_irqs() to decide whether to move around
interrupts is based on the affinity mask, but such mask can have all bits set,
and hence is unlikely to be a subset of the input mask.  For example if an
interrupt has an affinity mask of all 1s, any input to fixup_irqs() that's not
an all set CPU mask would cause that interrupt to be shuffled around
unconditionally.

What fixup_irqs() care about is evacuating interrupts from CPUs not set on the
input CPU mask, and for that purpose it should check whether the interrupt is
assigned to a CPU not present in the input mask.  Assume that ->arch.cpu_mask
is a subset of the ->affinity mask, and keep the current logic that resets the
->affinity mask if the interrupt has to be shuffled around.

Doing the affinity movement based on ->arch.cpu_mask requires removing the
special handling to ->arch.cpu_mask done for high priority vectors, otherwise
the adjustment done to cpu_mask makes them always skip the CPU interrupt
movement.

While there also adjust the comment as to the purpose of fixup_irqs().

Changes since v1:
 - Adjust handling of high priority vectors.

Changes since v0 (outside the series):
 - Do not AND ->arch.cpu_mask with cpu_online_map.
 - Keep using cpumask_subset().
 - Integrate into bigger series.

Aiui this is independent of patch 1, so could go in while we still settle on
how to word things there?

I think so, the issue patch 1 fixes is independent from the rest of the
series.

Thanks, Roger.
