That looks about right.

I think you want to actually return i.e. -ENOMEM and do cleanups in the
probe; otherwise you'll silently continue.

When I suggested serialization, I was thinking we may want to use the irq's
desc lock to prevent the affinity from moving under our feet. Something
like:

  CPU A                                          CPU B

  for_each_cpu(cpu, mask)
    cpu = cpumask_next(cpu, mask)

    // ...                                       cpumask_copy(desc->irq_common_data.affinity, mask)

    cpu = cpumask_next(cpu, mask)

Now, should that happen, we would still queue the notifier and run it
shortly after - and since you track which CPUs are boosted, I don't think
we have any loss of information here.

We may have yet another affinity change while the notifier is still queued;
but the notifier boilerplate does grab the desc lock, so I think it's all
good - it wasn't all super obvious so I figured I'd still point it out.

If the affinity changed between say .probe() and .start_streaming(), IIUC
you may skip CPUs here - and even if you initialize the notifier earlier in
the function (see below), that won't help you.

I think dcmi_irq_notifier_notify() does almost all you want, if it also did
the QoS update for CPUs that weren't affected by the affinity change, you
may be able to just do:

   dcmi_irq_notifier_notify(irq_get_affinity_mask(dcmi->irq));

Or something along those lines.
