Ugh, you're right.

  #define nr_cpumask_bits	((unsigned int)NR_CPUS)
  ...
  /**
   * cpumask_weight - Count of bits in *srcp
   * @srcp: the cpumask to count bits (< nr_cpu_ids) in.
   */
  static inline unsigned int cpumask_weight(const struct cpumask *srcp)
  {
  	return bitmap_weight(cpumask_bits(srcp), nr_cpumask_bits);
  }


I don't know what the comment on srcp is trying to say. It's not true
that it only counts nr_cpu_ids worth of bits.

So it does seem if we're passed a mask with > nr_cpu_ids bits set then
cpumask_weight() will return > nr_cpu_ids, which is .. unhelpful.


BUT, I don't see other code handling cpumask_weight() returning >
nr_cpu_ids - at least I can't find any with some grepping.


So what is going wrong here that we're being passed a mask with more
than nr_cpu_ids bits set?

I think the affinity mask is copied to the desc in desc_smp_init(), and
the call chain will be:

  irq_create_mapping()
    -> irq_domain_alloc_descs()
       -> __irq_alloc_descs()
          -> alloc_descs()
             -> alloc_desc()
                -> desc_set_defaults()
                   -> desc_smp_init()

irq_create_mapping() is doing:

  virq = irq_domain_alloc_descs(-1, 1, hwirq, of_node_to_nid(of_node), NULL);

Where the affinity mask is the NULL at the end.

So presumably we're hitting the irq_default_affinity case here:

  static void desc_smp_init(struct irq_desc *desc, int node,
  			  const struct cpumask *affinity)
  {
  	if (!affinity)
  		affinity = irq_default_affinity;
  	cpumask_copy(desc->irq_common_data.affinity, affinity);


Which comes from:

  static void __init init_irq_default_affinity(void)
  {
  #ifdef CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK
  	if (!irq_default_affinity)
  		zalloc_cpumask_var(&irq_default_affinity, GFP_NOWAIT);
  #endif
  	if (cpumask_empty(irq_default_affinity))
  		cpumask_setall(irq_default_affinity);
  }

And cpumask_setall() will indeed set NR_CPUs bits.


So that all seems sane, except that it does mean cpumask_weight() can
return > nr_cpu_ids which is awkward.

I guess this patch is a good fix, I'll expand the change log a bit.

cheers
