The driver uses irq_set_affinity_hint() to:
- Set the affinity_hint which is consumed by the userspace for
distributing the interrupts
- Enforce affinity
As per commit 352f58b0d9f2 ("net-next/hinic: Set Rxq irq to specific cpu
for NUMA"), the hinic driver enforces its own affinity to bind IRQs to the
local NUMA node. However, irq_set_affinity_hint() applying the provided
cpumask as an affinity for the interrupt is an undocumented side effect.
To remove this side effect irq_set_affinity_hint() has been marked as
deprecated and new interfaces have been introduced. Hence, replace the
irq_set_affinity_hint() with the new interface irq_set_affinity_and_hint()
where the provided mask needs to be applied as the affinity and
affinity_hint pointer needs to be set and replace with
irq_update_affinity_hint() where only affinity_hint needs to be updated.

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.
