When a CPU goes offline, the interrupts pinned to that CPU are
re-configured.
Its managed interrupts undergo either migration to other CPUs or shutdown
if all CPUs listed in the affinity are offline. This patch doesn't affect
managed interrupts.
For regular interrupts, they are migrated to other selected online CPUs.
The target CPUs are chosen from either desc->pending_mask (suppose
CONFIG_GENERIC_PENDING_IRQ) or d->common->affinity (suppose CONFIG_SMP).
The cpu_online_mask is used as target CPUs only when CPUs in both
desc->pending_mask and d->common->affinity are offline.
However, there is a bad corner case, when desc->pending_mask or
d->common->affinity is selected as the target cpumask, but none of their
CPUs has any available vectors.
In this case the migration fails and the device interrupt becomes
stale. This is not any different from the case where the affinity
mask does not contain any online CPU, but there is no fallback
operation for this.
Instead of giving up, retry the migration attempt with the online CPU
mask if the interrupt is not managed, as managed interrupts cannot be
affected by this problem.
