Subject: [PATCH] LoongArch: KVM: Reload one-shot TVAL on migration destination
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 11:28:31 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715032831.1411664-1-cui.tao@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Tao Cui <cuitao@kylinos.cn>
kvm_restore_timer() rebuilds the remaining timer countdown from
vcpu->arch.expire, which is host-internal and is not part of the migrated
vCPU state. On the migration destination it is still 0, so for a one-shot
timer that has not expired yet the computed delta is 0 and
write_gcsr_timertick(0) injects the timer interrupt immediately instead of
after the remaining time. The guest observes a premature timer event right
after migration.
The expired one-shot case (TVAL = -1) is already handled earlier, so only
the non-expired one-shot path is affected. When expire has not been set
(i.e. on the destination), reload the remaining countdown from the
migrated TVAL. The regular preempt/resume path on the source, where
expire is valid, is unchanged.
Fixes: a5857b9ff6e0 ("LoongArch: KVM: Implement vcpu timer operations")
