Indeed. The reason for that is that the affinity mask has bits
set for CPU IDs that are not present on my system.

After bbac70c74183 ("net/mlx5: Use newer affinity descriptor")
that mask is set up like this:

 struct mlx5_irq *mlx5_ctrl_irq_request(struct mlx5_core_dev *dev)
 {
        struct mlx5_irq_pool *pool = ctrl_irq_pool_get(dev);
-       cpumask_var_t req_mask;
+       struct irq_affinity_desc af_desc;
        struct mlx5_irq *irq;
-       if (!zalloc_cpumask_var(&req_mask, GFP_KERNEL))
-               return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
-       cpumask_copy(req_mask, cpu_online_mask);
+       cpumask_copy(&af_desc.mask, cpu_online_mask);
+       af_desc.is_managed = false;

Which normally works as you would expect. But for some historical
reason, I have CONFIG_NR_CPUS=32 on my system, and the
cpumask_copy() misbehaves.

If I correct mlx5_ctrl_irq_request() to clear @af_desc before the
copy, this crash goes away. But mlx5_core crashes during a later
part of its init, in cpu_rmap_update(). cpu_rmap_update() does
exactly the same thing (for_each_cpu() on an affinity mask created
by copying), and crashes in a very similar fashion.

If I set CONFIG_NR_CPUS to a larger value, like 512, the problem
vanishes entirely, and "modprobe mlx5_core" works as expected.

Thus I think the problem is with cpumask_copy() or for_each_cpu()
when NR_CPUS is a small value (the default is 8192).
