Sorry，it is "irqaffinity=" cmdline parameter. it will set irq_default_affinity
mask. if the interrupt is not the managed irq, the irq_desc will use
irq_default_affinity as default affinity.

For example, the cmdline "irqaffinity=0,1,126,127" on the 128 cores system：

[root@localhost ~]# cat /proc/irq/4/smp_affinity_list
0-1,126-127

The irq 4 is "arch_timer" interrupt, which is a percpu interrupt.

So is it necessary to show the percpu irq affinity correct?

thanks.

Yes, it is a problem.
