ipi_nmi_setup() may be called twice for CPU0:

  set_smp_ipi_range => set_smp_ipi_nmi => ipi_nmi_setup
                    => ipi_setup => ipi_nmi_setup

Actually, I got the following error message via the second ipi_nmi_setup():

  GICv3: Pseudo-NMIs enabled using relaxed ICC_PMR_EL1 synchronisation
  GICv3: Cannot set NMI property of enabled IRQ 8
  genirq: Failed to setup NMI delivery: irq 8
Ah, thanks for catching this which I missed during my testing.

Why don't we have a check to prevent that? Like as:

       if (cpumask_test_cpu(cpu, ipi_desc->percpu_enabled))
               return;
That's definitely the wrong thing to do. prepare_nmi_setup() shouldn't
be called twice, and papering over it isn't acceptable.
Got it. How about moving ipi_nmi_setup() from ipi_setup() to
secondary_start_kernel() ? so that CPU0 can call ipi_nmi_setup() only
from set_smp_ipi_nmi().

IMO, it would be more consistent to keep invocation of ipi_nmi_setup()
from ipi_setup(). So let me remove other invocation from
set_smp_ipi_nmi():

Do let me know if this works for you?
