[PATCH v4 0/4] x86/irq: Fix lost interrupts on CPU hot-unplug

From: Naman Jain

Date: Wed Sep 09 2026 - 02:48:51 EST


On CPU hot-unplug, fixup_irqs() re-injects interrupts that are still
pending in the outgoing CPU's IRR via the irqchip's irq_retrigger()
callback. The Hyper-V root partition PCI/MSI irqchip lost that callback
when it was converted to msi_create_parent_irq_domain(), so such a
pending interrupt is silently dropped, leading to lost interrupts, stalls
and "No irq handler for vector" messages.

Patch 1 is the minimal, backportable fix (Fixes:/Cc: stable) that restores
irq_chip_retrigger_hierarchy() on the Hyper-V root partition PCI/MSI chip.
The equivalent guest pci-hyperv.c fix from the previous version is already
merged, so it is dropped here.

Patch 2 then switches fixup_irqs() to have a fallback call to
irq_chip_retrigger_hierarchy() directly, if a chip does not define
irq_retrigger callback.

Patch 3 makes a similar change in msi_set_affinity()

Patch 4 then drops the now-redundant irq_retrigger() initializations.
This way, patch 2-4 do not need to be backported.

Changes since v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260907065129.269262-1-namjain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
* Move irq_retrigger setting to hv_init_dev_msi_info() in patch 1
(Michael, Nam)
* Add if-else fallback check in msi_set_affinity() in patch 3 (Michael)
* Break patch 3 into two separate patches, while *keeping review tags*.

Changes since v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260810090716.2325295-1-namjain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
* Add a backportable fix for Hyper-V root partition irqchip (Wei)
* Add a check for custom irq_retrigger implementations and add direct
irq_chip_retrigger_hierarchy() calls as a fallback if it is not
defined by a chip. (Sashiko, Michael)
* Removed local loop variable change, and continue using the irq_desc
accessor function (Michael)
* Did not pick "Acked-by: Manivannan Sadhasivam" as it was on v1, and v3
is a functionally different to some extent, specially patch 2.
Requesting you to please review again.
