[PATCH 1/1] genirq/cpuhotplug: retry with online CPUs on irq_do_set_affinity failure

From: Dongli Zhang
Date: Thu Apr 18 2024 - 21:36:01 EST


When a CPU is offline, its IRQs may migrate to other CPUs. For managed
IRQs, they are migrated, or shutdown (if all CPUs of the managed IRQ
affinity are offline). For regular IRQs, there will only be a migration.

The migrate_one_irq() first uses pending_mask or affinity_mask of the IRQ.

104 if (irq_fixup_move_pending(desc, true))
105 affinity = irq_desc_get_pending_mask(desc);
106 else
107 affinity = irq_data_get_affinity_mask(d);

The migrate_one_irq() may use all online CPUs, if all CPUs in
pending_mask/affinity_mask are already offline.

113 if (cpumask_any_and(affinity, cpu_online_mask) >= nr_cpu_ids) {
114 /*
115 * If the interrupt is managed, then shut it down and leave
116 * the affinity untouched.
117 */
118 if (irqd_affinity_is_managed(d)) {
119 irqd_set_managed_shutdown(d);
120 irq_shutdown_and_deactivate(desc);
121 return false;
122 }
123 affinity = cpu_online_mask;
124 brokeaff = true;
125 }

However, there is a corner case. Although some CPUs in
pending_mask/affinity_mask are still online, they are lack of available
vectors. If the kernel continues calling irq_do_set_affinity() with those CPUs,
there will be -ENOSPC error.

This is not reasonable as other online CPUs still have many available vectors.

name: VECTOR
size: 0
mapped: 529
flags: 0x00000103
Online bitmaps: 7
Global available: 884
Global reserved: 6
Total allocated: 539
System: 36: 0-19,21,50,128,236,243-244,246-255
| CPU | avl | man | mac | act | vectors
0 147 0 0 55 32-49,51-87
1 147 0 0 55 32-49,51-87
2 0 0 0 202 32-49,51-127,129-235
4 147 0 0 55 32-49,51-87
5 147 0 0 55 32-49,51-87
6 148 0 0 54 32-49,51-86
7 148 0 0 54 32-49,51-86

This issue should not happen for managed IRQs because the vectors are already
reserved before CPU hotplug. For regular IRQs, do a re-try with all online
CPUs if the prior irq_do_set_affinity() is failed with -ENOSPC.
