There is absolutely no reason to mimic the x86 deferred affinity setting. This mechanism is required to handle the hardware induced issues of IO/APIC and MSI and is not in use when the interrupts are remapped. XEN does not need this and can simply change the affinity from the calling context. The core code invokes this with the interrupt descriptor lock held so it is fully serialized against any other operation. Mark the interrupts with IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT to disable the deferred affinity setting. The conditional mask/unmask operation is already handled in xen_rebind_evtchn_to_cpu(). This makes XEN on x86 use the same mechanics as on e.g. ARM64 where deferred affinity setting is not required and not implemented and the code path in the ack functions is compiled out.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
