The driver uses irq_set_affinity_hint to set the affinity for the lpfc interrupts to a mask corresponding to the local NUMA node to avoid performance overhead on AMD architectures. However, irq_set_affinity_hint() setting the affinity is an undocumented side effect that this function also sets the affinity under the hood. To remove this side effect irq_set_affinity_hint() has been marked as deprecated and new interfaces have been introduced. Also, as per the commit dcaa21367938 ("scsi: lpfc: Change default IRQ model on AMD architectures"): "On AMD architecture, revert the irq allocation to the normal style (non-managed) and then use irq_set_affinity_hint() to set the cpu affinity and disable user-space rebalancing." we don't really need to set the affinity_hint as user-space rebalancing for the lpfc interrupts is not desired. Hence, replace the irq_set_affinity_hint() with irq_set_affinity() which only applies the affinity for the interrupts.

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.
