When debugging an issue where I was asking the PCI machinery to enable a set of MSIx vectors, without falling back on MSI, I ran across a behaviour which seems odd. The pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity will always return -ENOSPC on failure, when allocating MSIx vectors only, whereas with MSI fallback it will forward any error returned by __pci_enable_msi_range. This is a confusing behaviour, so have the pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity forward the error code from __pci_enable_msix_range when appropriate.
