The affinity of managed interrupts is completely handled in the kernel and
cannot be changed via the /proc/irq/* interfaces from user space. As the
kernel tries to spread out interrupts evenly accross CPUs on x86 to prevent
vector exhaustion, it can happen that a managed interrupt whose affinity
mask contains both isolated and housekeeping CPUs is routed to an isolated
CPU. As a consequence IO submitted on a housekeeping CPU causes interrupts
on the isolated CPU.
Add a new sub-parameter 'managed_irq' for 'isolcpus' and the corresponding
logic in the interrupt affinity selection code.
The subparameter indicates to the interrupt affinity selection logic that
it should try to avoid the above scenario.
This isolation is best effort and only effective if the automatically
assigned interrupt mask of a device queue contains isolated and
housekeeping CPUs. If housekeeping CPUs are online then such interrupts are
directed to the housekeeping CPU so that IO submitted on the housekeeping
CPU cannot disturb the isolated CPU.
If a queue's affinity mask contains only isolated CPUs then this parameter
has no effect on the interrupt routing decision, though interrupts are only
happening when tasks running on those isolated CPUs submit IO. IO submitted
on housekeeping CPUs has no influence on those queues.
If the affinity mask contains both housekeeping and isolated CPUs, but none
of the contained housekeeping CPUs is online, then the interrupt is also
routed to an isolated CPU. Interrupts are only delivered when one of the
isolated CPUs in the affinity mask submits IO. If one of the contained
housekeeping CPUs comes online, the CPU hotplug logic migrates the
interrupt automatically back to the upcoming housekeeping CPU. Depending on
the type of interrupt controller, this can require that at least one
interrupt is delivered to the isolated CPU in order to complete the
migration.

When interrupts are shutdown, they are immediately deactivated in the
irqdomain hierarchy. While this looks obviously correct there is a subtle
issue:
There might be an interrupt in flight when free_irq() is invoking the
shutdown. This is properly handled at the irq descriptor / primary handler
level, but the deactivation might completely disable resources which are
required to acknowledge the interrupt.
Split the shutdown code and deactivate the interrupt after synchronization
in free_irq(). Fixup all other usage sites where this is not an issue to
invoke the combined shutdown_and_deactivate() function instead.
This still might be an issue if the interrupt in flight servicing is
delayed on a remote CPU beyond the invocation of synchronize_irq(), but
that cannot be handled at that level and needs to be handled in the
synchronize_irq() context.

That commit was part of the changes moving x86 to the generic CPU hotplug
interrupt migration code. The force flag was required on x86 before the
hierarchical irqdomain rework, but invoking set_affinity() with force=true
stayed and had no side effects.
At some point in the past, the force flag got repurposed to support the
exynos timer interrupt affinity setting to a not yet online CPU, so the
interrupt controller callback does not verify the supplied affinity mask
against cpu_online_mask.
Setting the flag in the CPU hotplug code causes the cpu online masking to
be blocked on these irq controllers and results in potentially affining an
interrupt to the CPU which is unplugged, i.e. instead of moving it away,
it's just reassigned to it.
As the force flags is not longer needed on x86, it's safe to revert that
patch so the ARM irqchips which use the force flag work again.
Add comments to that effect, so this won't happen again.
Note: The online mask handling should be done in the generic code and the
force flag and the masking in the irq chips removed all together, but
that's not a change possible for 4.13.

If a CPU goes offline, interrupts affine to the CPU are moved away. If the
outgoing CPU is the last CPU in the affinity mask the migration code breaks
the affinity and sets it it all online cpus.
This is a problem for affinity managed interrupts as CPU hotplug is often
used for power management purposes. If the affinity is broken, the
interrupt is not longer affine to the CPUs to which it was allocated.
The affinity spreading allows to lay out multi queue devices in a way that
they are assigned to a single CPU or a group of CPUs. If the last CPU goes
offline, then the queue is not longer used, so the interrupt can be
shutdown gracefully and parked until one of the assigned CPUs comes online
again.
Add a graceful shutdown mechanism into the irq affinity breaking code path,
mark the irq as MANAGED_SHUTDOWN and leave the affinity mask unmodified.
In the online path, scan the active interrupts for managed interrupts and
if the interrupt is functional and the newly online CPU is part of the
affinity mask, restart the interrupt if it is marked MANAGED_SHUTDOWN or if
the interrupts is started up, try to add the CPU back to the effective
affinity mask.
