Hi,
I think the problem in such code is in GIC. The gic_set_affinity() uses
cpu_online_mask:
unsigned int cpu = cpumask_any_and(mask_val, cpu_online_mask);
In that time this CPU is not present in that mask so -EINVAL would be
returned.
The stall occurred also on 3.10 where the IRQ affinity is set just after
setup_irq():
if (cpu == 0) {
mct_tick0_event_irq.dev_id = mevt;
evt->irq = mct_irqs[MCT_L0_IRQ];
setup_irq(evt->irq, &mct_tick0_event_irq);
} else {
mct_tick1_event_irq.dev_id = mevt;
evt->irq = mct_irqs[MCT_L1_IRQ];
setup_irq(evt->irq, &mct_tick1_event_irq);
irq_set_affinity(evt->irq, cpumask_of(1));
}
Best regards,
Krzysztof
