Hmmm. OK. I'm surprised that irqbalance dries to set a range of CPUs,
instead of
a particular CPU though.

There's something I'm missing here. If there's a single ITS in the
system,
node affinity must cover the whole system, not half of it.

You've lost me. Single ITS, but two sockets?

If the ITS advertizes affinity to a node (through SRAT, for example),
we should use that. And that's what we have in this patch.

Unless you tell the interrupt subsystem that userspace cannot balance
this interrupt, it can happen.

You're doing fine! ;-)
