When a CPU goes offline, the interrupts affine to that CPU are re-configured. Managed interrupts undergo either migration to other CPUs or shutdown if all CPUs listed in the affinity are offline. The migration of managed interrupts is guaranteed on x86 because there are interrupt vectors reserved. Regular interrupts are migrated to a still online CPU in the affinity mask or if there is no online CPU to any online CPU. This works as long as the still online CPUs in the affinity mask have interrupt vectors available, but in case that none of those CPUs has a vector available the migration fails and the device interrupt becomes stale. This is not any different from the case where the affinity mask does not contain any online CPU, but there is no fallback operation for this. Instead of giving up, retry the migration attempt with the online CPU mask if the interrupt is not managed, as managed interrupts cannot be affected by this problem.

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 reStructuredText 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.
