Thanks for the report.

I'm glad I added this WARN_ON(). This unearthed another long standing
bug. If user space writes a bogus affinity mask, i.e. no online CPUs
then it calls irq_select_affinity_usr().
This was introduced for ALPHA in
eee45269b0f5 ("[PATCH] Alpha: convert to generic irq framework (generic part)")
and subsequently made available for all architectures in
18404756765c ("genirq: Expose default irq affinity mask (take 3)")
which already introduced the circumvention of the affinity setting
restrictions for interrupts which cannot be moved in process context.
The whole exercise is bogus in various aspects:
1) If the interrupt is already started up then there is absolutely
no point to honour a bogus interrupt affinity setting from user
space. The interrupt is already assigned to an online CPU and it
does not make any sense to reassign it to some other randomly
chosen online CPU.
2) If the interupt is not yet started up then there is no point
either. A subsequent startup of the interrupt will invoke
irq_setup_affinity() anyway which will chose a valid target CPU.
So the right thing to do is to just return -EINVAL in case user space
wrote an affinity mask which does not contain any online CPUs, except for
ALPHA which has it's own magic sauce for this.
Can you please test the patch below?
Thanks,
tglx
