[PATCH 2/3] x86/irq: Use irq_chip_retrigger_hierarchy() in fixup_irqs()

From: Naman Jain

Date: Tue Jul 28 2026 - 09:59:37 EST


fixup_irqs() re-injects a pending interrupt on its new target CPU by
looking at the outermost domain chip and invoking its irq_retrigger()
callback directly. That only works when the outermost chip happens to
install an irq_retrigger() callback, which is not guaranteed for every
irqchip and could lead to lost interrupts on CPU hot-unplug.

Use irq_chip_retrigger_hierarchy() instead, which walks up the interrupt
hierarchy until it finds a chip that implements irq_retrigger().

While at it, move the loop-local variables into the loop scope and use a
scoped guard for desc->lock.

No functional change intended for chips which already provide an
irq_retrigger() callback on the outermost domain.
