The API of pci_alloc_irq_vectors_affinity() says it returns -ENOSPC if
fewer than @min_vecs interrupt vectors are available for @dev.
However, if a device supports MSI-X but not MSI and a caller requests
@min_vecs that can't be satisfied by MSI-X, we previously returned -EINVAL
(from the failed attempt to enable MSI), not -ENOSPC.
When -ENOSPC is returned, callers may reduce the number IRQs they request
and try again. Most callers can use the @min_vecs and @max_vecs
parameters to avoid this retry loop, but that doesn't work when using IRQ
affinity "nr_sets" because rebalancing the sets is driver-specific.
This return value bug has been present since pci_alloc_irq_vectors() was
added in v4.10 by aff171641d18 ("PCI: Provide sensible IRQ vector
alloc/free routines"), but it wasn't an issue because @min_vecs/@max_vecs
removed the need for callers to iteratively reduce the number of IRQs
requested and retry the allocation, so they didn't need to distinguish
-ENOSPC from -EINVAL.
In v5.0, 6da4b3ab9a6e ("genirq/affinity: Add support for allocating
interrupt sets") added IRQ sets to the interface, which reintroduced the
need to check for -ENOSPC and possibly reduce the number of IRQs requested
and retry the allocation.

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.
