I spotted network performance regression and it turned out, this was
due to the network card getting other interrupt. It is a side effect

That's a merge commit (AFAIK, maybe not so much). The commit in
mainline is:

xhci: add handler for only one interrupt line
Installing irqbalance daemon did not help. Maybe someone experienced
such a problem?
Thomas, would you look at this, please?
A network device and xhci (USB) driver are now sharing interrupts.
This causes a large performance decrease for the networking device.
Short recap:
Thx for that. As the 6.8 release is merely two or three weeks away while
a fix is nowhere near in sight yet (afaics!) I start to wonder if we
should consider a revert here and try reapplying the culprit in a later
cycle when this problem is fixed.
I don't think reverting this series is a solution.
This isn't really about those usb xhci patches.
This is about which interrupt gets assigned to which CPU.
Mikhail got unlucky when the network adapter interrupts on that system was
assigned to CPU0, clearly a more "clogged" CPU, thus causing a drop in max
bandwidth.
Thanks
Mathias
