I'm wondering why .irq_set_affinity is required. static int setup_affinity(struct irq_desc *desc, struct cpumask *mask) first calls __irq_can_set_affinity() to check whether desc->irq_data.chip->irq_set_affinity) exists. then calls irq_do_set_affinity(&desc->irq_data, mask, false); which calls chip->irq_set_affinity(data, mask, force); = msi_domain_set_affinity() which calls parent->chip->irq_set_affinity() unconditionally. Would it make sense to test that the callback is implemented before calling it? [ 0.723895] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 ...
