Interrupt sharing for percpu-devid interrupts is forbidden, and for good reasons. These are interrupts generated *from* a CPU and handled by itself (timer, for example). Nobody in their right mind would put two devices on the same pin (and if they have, they get to keep the pieces...). But this also prevents more benign cases, where devices are connected to groups of CPUs, and for which the affinities are not overlapping. Effectively, the only thing they share is the interrupt number, and nothing else. Tweak the definition of IRQF_SHARED applied to percpu_devid interrupts to allow this particular use case. This results in extra validation at the point of the interrupt being setup and freed, as well as a tiny bit of extra complexity for interrupts at handling time (to pick the correct irqaction).

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.
