[PATCH 2/2] LoongArch: KVM: Do not restart SW timer when it is expired

From: Bibo Mao
Date: Tue Jan 30 2024 - 02:23:26 EST


LoongArch guest has separate hw timer, SW timer is to wake up
blocked vcpu thread, rather than HW timer emulation. When blocking
vcpu schedules out, SW timer is used to wakeup blocked vcpu thread
and injects timer interrupt. It does not care about whether guest
timer is in period mode or oneshot mode, and SW timer needs not be
restarted since vcpu has been woken.

This patch does not restart sw timer when it is expired.
