The idea here was to force the MSI migration to happen in process context. One of the patches in the series did disable_irq(dev->irq); irq_set_affinity(dev->irq, cpumask_of(dev->cpu)); enable_irq(dev->irq); with the above patch adding irq/manage code check for interrupt disabled and moving the interrupt in process context. IIRC, there was no IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT when we were developing this HPET code and we ended up having this ugly hack. IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT was there when we eventually submitted the patch upstream. But, looks like I did a blind rebasing instead of using IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT in hpet MSI code. Below patch fixes this. i.e., revert commit 932775a4ab622e3c99bd59f14cc and add PCNTXT to HPET MSI setup. Also removes copying of desc->affinity in generic code as set_affinity routines are doing it internally. Reported-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi Acked-by: "Eric W.

The patches fixing it were both complex and fragile, according to Eric they were also doing quite dangerous things to the hardware. Instead we now have patches that solve this problem via static NUMA node mappings - not dynamic allocation and balancing. The patches are much simpler than this method but are still too large outside of the merge window, so we mark the dynamic balancer as broken for now, and queue up the new approach for v2.6.31.
