Hi Michael, Sorry for the late reply. We spent some time to reproduce the issue on the upstream kernel 6.9.0-rc1. I added our QE(libhe and xiliang) in the CC list, who helped perform the test using their testing program.

We got the issue reproduced on upstream kernel 6.9.0-rc1, please see the dmesg log as follows, however there is no suspicious "IRQ 191: no longer affine to CPU7" string in "psci: CPUXX killed": [ 5.722007] systemd[1]: modprobe@fuse.service: Deactivated successfully.

We also tested the same kernel code, with " .shutdown = efa_remove," change in efa_main.c, the issue doesn't get reproduced. It looks to me the issue can be solved by this code change, however according to Jason, there might be problems. I'm not familiar with this, could you please try to fix this issue? Thanks in advance!
