I suspect the test added by:

commit 6f9a22bc5775d231ab8fbe2c2f3c88e45e3e7c28
Author: Michael Hernandez <michael.hernandez@xxxxxxxxxx>

    PCI/MSI: Ignore affinity if pre/post vector count is more than min_vecs

is triggering.

The rest of the failure cases are memory allocation failures which should
not be happening here.

There have only been 5 commits to kernel/irq/affinity.c since v4.10

I suppose we have been getting away with something that has silently
been allowed in the past, or something like that.

Meelis can you run with the following debuggingspatch?
