Hi Thomas,

That sounds reasonable, but when I gave it a try I started getting
warnings on the log after offlining one cpu then the other:

META213-Thread0 DSP [LogF] IRQ13 no longer affine to CPU1
META213-Thread0 DSP [LogF] IRQ14 no longer affine to CPU1
META213-Thread0 DSP [LogF] IRQ15 no longer affine to CPU1
META213-Thread0 DSP [LogF] IRQ18 no longer affine to CPU1
META213-Thread0 DSP [LogF] IRQ29 no longer affine to CPU1
META213-Thread0 DSP [LogF] IRQ30 no longer affine to CPU1
META213-Thread0 DSP [LogF] IRQ31 no longer affine to CPU1

It appears that the irq affinities weren't getting modified previously,
whereas now irq_do_set_affinity() does do cpumask_copy(data->affinity,
mask). Once all CPUs have been offlined at least once you get those
spurious messages even though the IRQ affinities haven't been explicitly
limited by anything.

I wonder if the stored affinity should really be altered in this case?

Cheers
James
