[PATCH] x86: kernel irq balance doesn't work
On i386, kernel irq balance doesn't work.
1) In function do_irq_balance, after kernel finds the min_loaded cpu but
before calling set_pending_irq to really pin the selected_irq to the
target cpu, kernel does a cpus_and with irq_affinity[selected_irq].
Later on, when the irq is acked, kernel would calls
move_native_irq=>desc->handler->set_affinity to change the irq affinity.
However, every function pointed by
hw_interrupt_type->set_affinity(unsigned int irq, cpumask_t cpumask)
always changes irq_affinity[irq] to cpumask. Next time when recalling
do_irq_balance, it has to do cpu_ands again with
irq_affinity[selected_irq], but irq_affinity[selected_irq] already
becomes one cpu selected by the first irq balance.
2) Function balance_irq in file arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c has the same
issue.
