After calling irq_set_affinity_and_hint(), the cpumask pointer is saved in desc->affinity_hint, and will be used later when reading /proc/irq/<num>/affinity_hint. So the cpumask variable needs to be persistent. Otherwise, we are accessing freed memory when reading the affinity_hint file. Also, need to clear affinity_hint before free_irq(), otherwise there is a one-time warning and stack trace during module unloading: [ 243.948687] WARNING: CPU: 10 PID: 1589 at kernel/irq/manage.c:1913 free_irq+0x318/0x360 ...

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.
