commit b56ebe7c896dc78b5865ec2c4b1dae3c93537517 upstream.
commit ef8dd01538ea ("genirq/msi: Make interrupt allocation less
convoluted"), reworked the code so that the x86 specific quirk for affinity
setting of non-maskable PCI/MSI interrupts is not longer activated if
necessary.
This could be solved by restoring the original logic in the core MSI code,
but after a deeper analysis it turned out that the quirk flag is not
required at all.
The quirk is only required when the PCI/MSI device cannot mask the MSI
interrupts, which in turn also prevents reservation mode from being enabled
for the affected interrupt.
This allows ot remove the NOMASK quirk bit completely as msi_set_affinity()
can instead check whether reservation mode is enabled for the interrupt,
which gives exactly the same answer.
Even in the momentary non-existing case that the reservation mode would be
not set for a maskable MSI interrupt this would not cause any harm as it
just would cause msi_set_affinity() to go needlessly through the
functionaly equivalent slow path, which works perfectly fine with maskable
interrupts as well.
Rework msi_set_affinity() to query the reservation mode and remove all
NOMASK quirk logic from the core code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
