why was ice driver 1.13.7 IRQ affinity hint removed ?

[JungHoonSeo]

Hi,

I am using E810 CQDA2 NIC with Ubuntu.

When I updated ice driver version from 1.8.3 to 1.13.7, I found that IRQ affinity setting was not changed.

I analyzed the driver code and then I checked that the irq_set_affinity_hint function for IRQ setting was removed.

It seems that this part was removed for some reason.

Why was this function removed?

Just want to know why.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question.

Thanks.
