Ashok Raj 52d6b926aa x86/hotplug: Silence APIC only after all interrupts are migrated
There is a race when taking a CPU offline. Current code looks like this:

native_cpu_disable()
{
	...
	apic_soft_disable();
	/*
	 * Any existing set bits for pending interrupt to
	 * this CPU are preserved and will be sent via IPI
	 * to another CPU by fixup_irqs().
	 */
	cpu_disable_common();
	{
		....
		/*
		 * Race window happens here. Once local APIC has been
		 * disabled any new interrupts from the device to
		 * the old CPU are lost
		 */
		fixup_irqs(); // Too late to capture anything in IRR.
		...
	}
}

The fix is to disable the APIC *after* cpu_disable_common().

Testing was done with a USB NIC that provided a source of frequent
interrupts. A script migrated interrupts to a specific CPU and
then took that CPU offline.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
