## Symptoms

- * Output of 'fw ctl affinity' does not show FWK affinity to CPU core after upgrade of R80.30 Security Gateway with kernel 3.10 to R80.40.

* Output of "fw ctl affinity -l -v" is missing FWK affinity to CPU core info:  


  `[Expert@Lab-23500:0]# fw ctl affinity -l -v`  
  `Interface Mgmt (irq 63): CPU 0`  
  `Interface eth4-01 (irq 85): CPU 1`  
  `
  Interface eth3-01 (irq 154): CPU 2`  
  `Interface eth2-01: has multi queue enabled`  
  `Interface eth1-01: has multi queue enabled
  `  
  `[Expert@Lab-23500:0]#`

* Output of "fw ctl affinity -l -r" shows that all of the instances are affined to all of the CPUs:  

  ` Expert@Lab-23500:0]# fw ctl affinity -l -r`  
  ` CPU 0: Mgmt`  
  ` CPU 1: eth4-01`  
  ` CPU 2: eth3-01`  
  ` CPU 3:`  
  ` .....`  
  ` .....`  
  ` CPU 37:`  
  ` CPU 38:`  
  ` CPU 39:`  
  ` All: fw_0 fw_1 fw_2 fw_3 fw_4 fw_5 fw_6 fw_7 fw_8 fw_9 fw_10 fw_11 fw_12 fw_13 fw_14 fw_15 fw_16 fw_17 fw_18 fw_19`  
  ` mpdaemon fwd lpd in.asessiond cprid cpd`  
  ` Interface eth2-01: has multi queue enabled`  
  ` Interface eth1-01: has multi queue enabled`  
  ` [Expert@Lab-23500:0]#`

* In the output of "fw multik stat" you can see that all of the instances are affined to all of the CPUs, for example:  

  `[Expert@Lab-23500:0]# fw ctl multik stat`  
  `ID | Active | CPU | Connections | Peak`  
  `----------------------------------------------`  
  `0 | Yes | all | 0 | 1`  
  `1 | Yes | all | 1 | 1`  
  `3 | Yes | all | 1 | 1`  
  `4 | Yes | all | 0 | 1`  
  `5 | Yes | all | 0 | 1`  
  `6 | Yes | all | 0 | 1`  
  `7 | Yes | all | 2 | 2`  
  `8 | Yes | all | 0 | 1`  
  `.....`  
  `.....`  
  `18 | Yes | all | 0 | 1`  
  `19 | Yes | all | 0 | 1 `  
  `[Expert@Lab-23500:0]# `

* This issue is not seen when performing an In-place upgrade R80.30 with kernel 2.6.18 to R80.40.

* This issue is not seen on a Clean installed R80.40.
