[Resend PATCH 0/2] cpumask fallout: Initialize irq_default_affinity earlier et al. (v3)

[David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com>]

This seems to have fallen through the cracks, so I am resending:

Now that mips/OCTEON support has been merged, this patch set has
slightly more urgency.

The interrupt affinity on OCTEON is determined by
irq_default_affinity, as that is what the code in kernel/irq/manage.c
uses to set affinity.  Since for the majority of devices (Serial,
Compact Flash, Network...) we want interrupts to be handled on a
single CPU, we set irq_default_affinity to the boot CPU in init_IRQ().
The problem we have is that with the new cpumask infrastructure,
irq_default_affinity is being initialized in core_initcall which
undoes our initialization.

As I said in 2/2:

    Move the initialization of irq_default_affinity to early_irq_init
    as core_initcall is too late.

    irq_default_affinity can be used in init_IRQ and potentially timer
    and SMP init as well.  All of these happen before core_initcall.
    Moving the initialization to early_irq_init ensures that it is
    initialized before it is used.

Mike Travis pointed out that irq_default_affinity depends on
CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS in addition to CONFIG_SMP.  So to make things
consistent, I added 1/2 so that the irq_*_affinity functions and
irq_default_affinity are defined for the same conditions that they are
declared.

I Took Linus' suggestion to move init_irq_default_affinity over to
kernel/irq/handle.c, however due to the way that cpumask_*() are
defined, it is still necessary to have the ugly ifdefs, but now they
are localized to init_irq_default_affinity.

Mike Travis also suggested that alloc_bootmem_cpumask_var() be used in
preference to alloc_cpumask_var, so I incorporated that suggestion as
well.

I tested both with and without CONFIG_SMP, on mips/cavium_octeon, Mike
tested a similar(but not identical patch) on x86_64.

Changes from v2 of this set are just a small rearrangement of the
#ifdefs suggested by Ihar Hrachyshka that make the code look a bit
cleaner.


I will reply with the two patches.

David Daney (2):
  Make irq_*_affinity depend on CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS too.
  cpumask fallout: Initialize irq_default_affinity earlier (v3).
