Hi Jiang, I might not understand the new changes irq core, but up until now affinity was changed when the user changed it through /proc/irq/<IRQ>/smp_affinity. This code is monitoring the affinity from the napi_poll context to detect affinity changes, and prevent napi from keep running on the wrong CPU. Therefore, the affinity can't be cached at the beginning. Please revert this caching.
