[PATCH] LoongArch: KVM: Mark hrtimer to expire in hard interrupt context

From: Huacai Chen
Date: Sun Oct 13 2024 - 05:02:00 EST


Like commit 2c0d278f3293fc5 ("KVM: LAPIC: Mark hrtimer to expire in hard
interrupt context"), On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels unmarked hrtimers are
moved into soft interrupt expiry mode by default.

While that's not a functional requirement for the KVM constant timer
emulation, it is a latency issue which can be avoided by marking the
timer so hard interrupt context expiry is enforced.

This fix a "scheduling while atomic" bug for PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels:
