Iâm not exactly sure the correct condition, but what Iâm looking for
is interrupts which are deactivated and we have thus sent a discard.

That looks like IRQD_IRQ_STARTED not being set in this case.

This is the case. If we down a NIC, that interfaceâs MSIs will be
deactivated but remain allocated until the device is unbound from the
driver or the NIC is brought up.

While stressing down/up a device Iâve found that irqbalance can move
interrupts and you end up with the situation described. The device is
downed, the interrupts are deactivated but still present and then
trying to move one results in sending a MOVI after the DISCARD which
is an error per the GIC spec.

Not great indeed. But this is not, as far as I can tell, a GIC
driver problem.

The semantic of activate/deactivate (which maps to started/shutdown
in the IRQ code) is that the HW resources for a given interrupt are
only committed when the interrupt is activated. Trying to perform
actions involving the HW on an interrupt that isn't active cannot be
guaranteed to take effect.

I'd rather address it in the core code, by preventing set_affinity (and
potentially others) to take place when the interrupt is not in the
STARTED state. Userspace would get an error, which is perfectly
legitimate, and which it already has to deal with it for plenty of other
reasons.

How about this:

diff --git a/kernel/irq/manage.c b/kernel/irq/manage.c
index 453a8a0f4804..1a2ac1392c0f 100644
