[Minghuan Lian] For LS1043a rev1.1, there are only 8 MSI interrupts for each MSI controller when enable affinity.
(32 MSI interrupts are evenly distributed to 4 cores).  3 MSI controllers can only provide 32 MSI interrupts.
When disable affinity, the MSI interrupts number of 3 controllers can up to 32*3= 96.
32 MSI interrupts may be not enough.
For example: an Ethernet card with 4 ports, each port needs 4 RX, 4TX and 1 error interrupts, totally need 4*(4+4+1)
36 MSI interrupts.
With the parameter "lsmsi=no-affinity" this Ethernet card can work well, although the performance is poor.

[Minghuan Lian]  This will never happen. I will remove this "if" sentence.

[Minghuan Lian] the available message data is a bytes.
   7    6  5  4  3   2    1    0
| - |       ibs           |   srs |

SRS  bit 0-1  is used to select MSIR register/CPU.  A MSIR is associated with a CPU.
IBS bit2-6 of ls1046,  bit2-4 for ls1043 is used to select bit of the MSIR. 
When enable affinity,  only bits of MSIR0(srs = 0 cpu0) is be freed for requesting MSI.
all bits of the MSIR1-3(cpu1-3) are reserved to be sure this MSI can be successfully associated with cpu 1-3.
So, When requesting a MSI interrupt, srs always is 0. 
The hwirq always equals bits number of the MSIR0(SRS = 0).
First, MSI message data payload equals hwirq, and then plus the real SRS according to smp_affinity.
This MSI interrupt will be routed to the corresponding the MSIR/CPU.

[Minghuan Lian] ok, I will change it.

[Minghuan Lian]  Both LS1021a and LS1043av1.0 have only a MSIR, a gic interrupt.
MSI controllers cannot support affinity.
Then LS1046a/LS1043av1.1 extends MSIR number to 4 same to cpu number. So each MSIR with a GIC interrupt can be associated with a cpu.
To keep simple, the first patch for ls1046 and ls1043av1.1 keep the same way with ls1021 and ls1043av1.0 that does not support affinity and
all interrupts of MSIR0-3 are different and can be used for requesting MSI interrupts.
This patch is to enable affinity, that means, for ls1046a and ls1043av1.1, the same bit of MSIR0-3 will be looked as one interrupt using the same hwirq. And MSIRN  only is used when the MSI interrupt is associated with the corresponding cpu.
