Commit 01f8fa4f01d8("genirq: Allow forcing cpu affinity of interrupts") enabled the forced irq_set_affinity which previously refused to route an interrupt to an offline cpu. Commit ffde1de64012("irqchip: Gic: Support forced affinity setting") implements this force logic and disables the cpu online check for GIC interrupt controller. When __cpu_disable calls migrate_irqs, it disables the current cpu in cpu_online_mask and uses forced irq_set_affinity to migrate the IRQs away from the cpu but passes affinity mask with the cpu being offlined also included in it. When calling irq_set_affinity with force == true in a cpu hotplug path, the caller must ensure that the cpu being offlined is not present in the affinity mask or it may be selected as the target CPU, leading to the interrupt not being migrated. This patch uses cpu_online_mask when using forced irq_set_affinity so that the IRQs are properly migrated away.
