Using direct assignment for a cpumask is wrong, cpumask_copy() should be used instead. Otherwise crashes like the following might happen: [62792.326374] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8800049ff000 [62792.340118] IP: [<ffffffffa2043341>] i40e_irq_affinity_notify+0x11/0x20 [i40e] ...
