Subject: [PATCH 2/3] hw/intc: Save timers array in RISC-V mtimer VMState
Date: Tue, 09 Sep 2025 17:46:45 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250909-timers-v1-2-7ee18a9d8f4b@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250909-timers-v1-0-7ee18a9d8f4b@linux.alibaba.com>

The current 'timecmp' field in vmstate_riscv_mtimer is insufficient to keep
timers functional after migration.

If an mtimer's entry in 'mtimer->timers' is active at the time the snapshot
is taken, it means riscv_aclint_mtimer_write_timecmp() has written to
'mtimecmp' and scheduled a timer into QEMU's main loop 'timer_list'.

During snapshot save, these active timers must also be migrated; otherwise,
after snapshot load there is no mechanism to restore 'mtimer->timers' back
into the 'timer_list', and any pending timer events would be lost.

QEMU's migration framework commonly uses VMSTATE_TIMER_xxx macros to save
and restore 'QEMUTimer' variables. However, 'timers' is a pointer array
with variable length, and vmstate.h did not previously provide a helper
macro for such type.

This commit adds a new macro, 'VMSTATE_TIMER_PTR_VARRAY', to handle saving
and restoring a variable-length array of 'QEMUTimer *'. We then use this
macro to migrate the 'mtimer->timers' array, ensuring that timer events
remain scheduled correctly after snapshot load.
