Actually, it isn't a real fix, the real one is in the following two: 0c20244d458e scsi: megaraid_sas: fix selection of reply queue ed6d043be8cd scsi: hpsa: fix selection of reply queue
Where are these commits? Neither Linus tree not -next know anything about them....
This patchset can't guarantee that all IRQ vectors are assigned by one online CPU, for example, in a quad-socket system, if only one processor is present, then some of vectors are still assigned by all offline CPUs, and it is a valid case, but still may cause io hang if drivers(hpsa, megaraid_sas) select reply queue in current way.
So my understanding is that these irq patches are enhancements and not bug fixes. I'll queue them for 4.17 then. Thanks, tglx
