Hi Ying and Thomas,
I guess this report discloses a regression in hierarchy
irqdomain, and which should have been fixed by the patch posted at:
lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/1/80
The root cause is that, with hierarchy irqdomain enabled,
there are multiple irq_data associated with one irq. And function
irq_move_irq() on x86 uses a wrong copy of irq_data to check
whether there's pending irq migration operation. So all irq migration
/set_affinity operations will get pending for ever. This may
affect network performance due to interrupt load balance issue.
And the patch set posted at
www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/2185533
should have solved all such regressions.

Thanks!
Gerry
