John, Thanks for the root cause and analysis. As you noticed, 0xff is a valid logical apicid. Similarly 0xffff is a valid logical x2apic cluster id. So while your patch fixes your issue, it doesn't completely fix the issue. Can you please check if the appended patch works and ack if it passes your test? thanks, suresh --- Subject: x86, irq: allow 0xff for /proc/irq/[n]/smp_affinity on a 8 cpu system John Blackwood reported: > on an older Dell PowerEdge 6650 system with 8 cpus (4 are hyper-threaded), > and 32 bit (x86) kernel, once you change the irq smp_affinity of an irq > to be less than all cpus in the system, you can never change really the > irq smp_affinity back to be all cpus in the system (0xff) again, > even though no error status is returned on the "/bin/echo ff > > /proc/irq/[n]/smp_affinity" operation. > > This is due to that fact that BAD_APICID has the same value as > all cpus (0xff) on 32bit kernels, and thus the value returned from > set_desc_affinity() via the cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() function is treated > as a failure in set_ioapic_affinity_irq_desc(), and no affinity changes > are made. set_desc_affinity() is already checking if the incoming cpu mask intersects with the cpu online mask or not. So there is no need for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again and return BAD_APICID. Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent bad physical apic id).
