Correct.

What's even more odd is:

>> [    2.725479] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 94 at include/linux/msi.h:264 free_msi_irqs+0x84/0x188
>> [    2.825275]  free_msi_irqs+0x84/0x188

>From __pci_enable_msix_range() there are two ways to reach free_msi_irqs():

1) pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity()
     __pci_enable_msix_range()
       __pci_enable_msix()
         msix_capability_init()
           msix_setup_entries()
             alloc_msi_entry(()      -> allocation fail

2) pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity()
     __pci_enable_msix_range()
       __pci_enable_msix()
         msix_capability_init()
           pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs(); -> any failure after this succeeded

#1 is unlikely

#2 is odd because if the irqdomain of the device is not hierarchical,
   then the same warning should trigger already in
   pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs() via arch_setup_msi_irqs().

Strange.

Thanks,
