Subject: [PATCH 2/9] s390/vtime: Fix virtual timer forwarding
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 15:20:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218142012.863464-3-hca@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260218142012.863464-1-hca@linux.ibm.com>
Since delayed accounting of system time [1] the virtual timer is
forwarded by do_account_vtime() but also vtime_account_kernel(),
vtime_account_softirq(), and vtime_account_hardirq(). This leads
to double accounting of system, guest, softirq, and hardirq time.
Remove accounting from the vtime_account*() family to restore old behavior.
There is only one user of the vtimer interface, which might explain
why nobody noticed this so far.
Fixes: b7394a5f4ce9 ("sched/cputime, s390: Implement delayed accounting of system time") [1]
