The PCI Local Bus Specification 3.0 (section 6.8.1.6) allows modifying the low-order bits of the MSI Message DATA register to encode nr_irqs interrupt numbers in the log2(nr_irqs) bits for the domain. The problem arises if the base vector (GICV2m base spi) is not aligned with nr_irqs; in this case, the low-order log2(nr_irqs) bits from the base vector conflict with the nr_irqs masking, causing the wrong MSI interrupt to be identified. To fix this, use bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off() instead of bitmap_find_free_region() to align the initial base vector with nr_irqs.

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.
