RDMA/i40iw: Avoid panic when reading back the IRQ affinity hint
The current code sets an affinity hint with a cpumask_t stored on the stack. This value can then be accessed through /proc/irq/*/affinity_hint/, causing a segfault or returning corrupt data.
Move the cpumask_t into struct i40iw_msix_vector so it is available later. ... ... ... Fixes: 8e06af711bf2 ("i40iw: add main, hdr, status") Signed-off-by: Andrew Boyer andrew.boyer@dell.com Reviewed-by: Shiraz Saleem shiraz.saleem@intel.com Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford dledford@redhat.com

i40iw: Use vector when creating CQs
Assign each CEQ vector to a different CPU when possible, then when creating a CQ, use the vector for the CEQ id. This allows completion work to be distributed over multiple cores.
