The X86 MSI mechanism cannot handle interrupt affinity changes safely after startup other than from an interrupt handler, unless interrupt remapping is enabled. The startup sequence in the generic interrupt code violates that assumption. Mark the irq chips with the new IRQCHIP_AFFINITY_PRE_STARTUP flag so that the default interrupt setting happens before the interrupt is started up for the first time. While the interrupt remapping MSI chip does not require this, there is no point in treating it differently as this might spare an interrupt to a CPU which is not in the default affinity mask. For the non-remapping case go to the direct write path when the interrupt is not yet started similar to the not yet activated case.

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.
