I suspect the test added by:

commit 6f9a22bc5775d231ab8fbe2c2f3c88e45e3e7c28
Author: Michael Hernandez <michael.hernandez@cavium.com>
Date:   Thu May 18 10:47:47 2017 -0700

    PCI/MSI: Ignore affinity if pre/post vector count is more than min_vecs

is triggering.

The rest of the failure cases are memory allocation failures which should
not be happening here.

There have only been 5 commits to kernel/irq/affinity.c since v4.10

I suppose we have been getting away with something that has silently
been allowed in the past, or something like that.

Meelis can you run with the following debuggingspatch?

I think with this patch from -rc6 the symptoms should be cured:

if that theory is right.

The result with 4.13-rc6 is positive but mixed: the message about MSI-X 
affinty maks are still there but the rest of the detection works and the 
driver is loaded successfully:

With Dave Millers patch on top of 4.13-rc6, I see the following before 
both MSI-X messages:

Is this an SMP system?

I ask because the commit log message indicates that this failure is
not expected to ever happen on SMP.

We really need to root cause this.

Yes, T5120.

I fear my commit message (but not the code) might be wrong.
irq_create_affinity_masks can return NULL any time we don't have any
affinity masks.  I've already had a discussion about this elsewhere
with Bjorn, and I suspect we need to kill the warning or move it
to irq_create_affinity_masks only for genuine failure cases.

This is a rather large machine with 64 or more cpus and several NUMA
nodes.  Why wouldn't there be any affinity masks available?

That's why I want to root cause this.

T5120 with 1 slot and 32 threads total. I have not configured any NUM on 
it is there any reason for that?

The drivers only asked for two MSI-X vectors, and marked bost of them
as pre-vectors that should not be spread.  So there is no actual
vector left that we want to actually spread.

Ok 32 cpus and 1 NUMA node, my bad :-)

Ok, now it makes more sense, and yes the warning should be removed.
