Re: [PATCH v2 0/7] KVM: LoongArch: selftests: Add timer test case

[Huacai Chen]

Hi, Bibo,

I'm very confused with this series.
1. The cover letter doesn't appear in the maillist.
2. Patch-6 is missed in the thread.
3. The one-shot and periodic test splitting is a little strange,
because you put some common parts in the on-shot test, maybe you can
consider merge these two.
