(reduced CC-list again) Hello Christoph, It seems like irq_create_affinity_masks() wrote past the bounds of the masks array it allocated. After I had added the following debug code in irq_create_affinity_masks(): WARN_ON_ONCE(affv <= 0); pr_err("%s: affd = { .pre = %d, .post = %d }, nvecs = %d\n", __func__, affd->pre_vectors, affd->post_vectors, nvecs); The following output appeared: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 814 at kernel/irq/affinity.c:69 irq_create_affinity_masks+0x2cd/0x2f0 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x85/0xc2 __warn+0xcb/0xf0 warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20 irq_create_affinity_masks+0x2cd/0x2f0 __pci_enable_msix+0x314/0x4c0 pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity+0xb7/0x140 qla2x00_request_irqs+0xa6/0x6d0 [qla2xxx] qla2x00_probe_one+0xc2e/0x25f0 [qla2xxx] pci_device_probe+0x8a/0xf0 driver_probe_device+0x1f5/0x450 __driver_attach+0xe3/0xf0 bus_for_each_dev+0x66/0xa0 driver_attach+0x1e/0x20 bus_add_driver+0x200/0x270 driver_register+0x60/0xe0 __pci_register_driver+0x5d/0x60 qla2x00_module_init+0x1c9/0x217 [qla2xxx] do_one_initcall+0x44/0x180 do_init_module+0x5f/0x1f9 load_module+0x2582/0x2a00 SYSC_finit_module+0xbc/0xf0 SyS_finit_module+0xe/0x10 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x23/0xc6 irq_create_affinity_masks: affd = { .pre = 2, .post = 0 }, nvecs = 2 affd comes from the qla2xxx driver: struct irq_affinity desc = { .pre_vectors = QLA_BASE_VECTORS }. Shouldn't irq_calc_affinity_vectors() guarantee that it returns a value that is strictly greater than affd->pre_vectors + affd->post_vectors instead of greater than or equal to affd->pre_vectors + affd->post_vectors?
