Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 1/2] genirq: Add migratable NMI registration mode
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 15:49:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261114234946.818072-2-ashok.raj@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261114234946.818072-1-ashok.raj@oss.qualcomm.com>
request_nmi() only supports per-CPU NMIs, so a globally routed NMI
source cannot use the generic CPU-offline IRQ migration path.
Add IRQF_NMI_MIGRATABLE for a non-per-CPU NMI. Require an
affinity-capable irqchip, preserve the NMI no-balancing policy, and
allow generic startup affinity and CPU-hotplug migration to route the
source. Keep local per-CPU NMIs unchanged.
Add KUnit coverage for registration validation and CPU-offline
migration.
