IRQ affinity enforced only after first interrupt.

[Yevgeny Petrilin <yevgenyp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm working on an issue where affinity changes to IRQ only have effect after the first interrupt which still happens on the original core.
I understand that the decision regarding it takes place in this code:

	if (irq_can_move_pcntxt(data)) {
		ret = chip->irq_set_affinity(data, mask, false);
		switch (ret) {
		case IRQ_SET_MASK_OK:
			cpumask_copy(data->affinity, mask);
		case IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY:
			irq_set_thread_affinity(desc);
			ret = 0;
		}
	} else {
		irqd_set_move_pending(data);
		irq_copy_pending(desc, mask);
	}

Which means that the "IRQD_MOVE_PCNTXT" flag is not set in irq_data->state_use_accessors.
I was able to add this flag using irq_modify_status(), which is probably not the way to go.
This option also doesn't exist in older kernels (2.6.32)

So the question is, when irq_desc is created, how is it determined that "IRQD_MOVE_PCNTXT" flag is set?

Thanks,
Yevgeny
