Current code looks like this: native_cpu_disable() { ... apic_soft_disable(); /* * Any existing set bits for pending interrupt to * this CPU are preserved and will be sent via IPI * to another CPU by fixup_irqs(). */ cpu_disable_common(); { .... /* * Race window happens here. Once local APIC has been * disabled any new interrupts from the device to * the old CPU are lost */ fixup_irqs(); // Too late to capture anything in IRR. ... } } The fix is to disable the APIC *after* cpu_disable_common(). Testing was done with a USB NIC that provided a source of frequent interrupts. A script migrated interrupts to a specific CPU and then took that CPU offline.
