The absence of IRQD_MOVE_PCNTXT prevents immediate effectiveness of interrupt affinity reconfiguration via procfs. Instead, the change is deferred until the next instance of the interrupt being triggered on the original CPU. When the interrupt next triggers on the original CPU, the new affinity is enforced within __irq_move_irq(). A vector is allocated from the new CPU, but if the old vector on the original CPU remains online, it is not immediately reclaimed. Instead, apicd->move_in_progress is flagged, and the reclaiming process is delayed until the next trigger of the interrupt on the new CPU. Upon the subsequent triggering of the interrupt on the new CPU, irq_complete_move() adds a task to the old CPU's vector_cleanup list if it remains online. Subsequently, the timer on the old CPU iterates over its vector_cleanup list, reclaiming vectors. However, if the old CPU is offline before the interrupt triggers again on the new CPU, irq_complete_move() simply resets both apicd->move_in_progress and apicd->prev_vector to 0. Consequently, the vector remains unreclaimed in vector_matrix, resulting in a CPU vector leak. To address this issue, the fix borrows from the comments and implementation of apic_update_vector(): "If the target CPU is offline then the regular release mechanism via the cleanup vector is not possible and the vector can be immediately freed in the underlying matrix allocator.".
