With virtio multiqueue, normally each queue IRQ is mapped to a CPU.
But since commit 0d9f0a52c8b9f ("virtio_scsi: use virtio IRQ affinity")
this is broken on pseries.
The affinity is correctly computed in msi_desc but this is not applied
to the system IRQs.
It appears the affinity is correctly passed to rtas_setup_msi_irqs() but
lost at this point and never passed to irq_domain_alloc_descs()
(see commit 06ee6d571f0e ("genirq: Add affinity hint to irq allocation"))
because irq_create_mapping() doesn't take an affinity parameter.
As the previous patch has added the affinity parameter to
irq_create_mapping() we can forward the affinity from rtas_setup_msi_irqs()
to irq_domain_alloc_descs().
With this change, the virtqueues are correctly dispatched between the CPUs
on pseries.
This problem cannot be shown on x86_64 for two reasons:
- the call path traverses arch_setup_msi_irqs() that is arch specific:
virtscsi_probe()
virtscsi_init()
vp_modern_find_vqs()
vp_find_vqs()
vp_find_vqs_msix()
pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity()
__pci_enable_msix_range()
pci_msi_setup_msi_irqs()
arch_setup_msi_irqs()
rtas_setup_msi_irqs()
irq_create_mapping()
irq_domain_alloc_descs()
__irq_alloc_descs()
- and x86_64 has CONFIG_PCI_MSI_IRQ_DOMAIN that uses another path:
virtscsi_probe()
virtscsi_init()
vp_modern_find_vqs()
vp_find_vqs()
vp_find_vqs_msix()
pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity()
__pci_enable_msix_range()
__msi_domain_alloc_irqs()
__irq_domain_alloc_irqs()
__irq_alloc_descs()
