[PATCH v2 2/2] net/mlx5: Use effective affinity mask for IRQ selection
From: Fushuai Wang
Date: Thu Jun 04 2026 - 08:59:05 EST
From: Fushuai Wang <wangfushuai@xxxxxxxxx>
When an SF is created after a CPU has been taken offline, the IRQ pool may
contain IRQs with affinity masks that include the offline CPU. Since only
online CPUs should be considered for IRQ placement, cpumask_subset() check
would fail because the iter_mask contains offline CPUs that are not present
in req_mask, causing SF creation to fail.
Use irq_get_effective_affinity_mask() instead, which returns the IRQ's
actual effective affinity that already excludes offline CPUs.
Fixes: 061f5b23588a ("net/mlx5: SF, Use all available cpu for setting cpu affinity")
