kvm/x86: Remove Hyper-V SynIC timer stopping It's possible that guest send us Hyper-V EOM at the middle of Hyper-V SynIC timer running, so we start processing of Hyper-V SynIC timers in vcpu context and stop the Hyper-V SynIC timer unconditionally: host guest ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ start periodic stimer start periodic timer timer expires after 15ms send expiration message into guest restart periodic timer timer expires again after 15 ms msg slot is still not cleared so setup ->msg_pending (1) restart periodic timer process timer msg and clear slot ->msg_pending was set: send EOM into host received EOM kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_HV_STIMER) kvm_hv_process_stimers(): ... stimer_stop() if (time_now >= stimer->exp_time) stimer_expiration(stimer); Because the timer was rearmed at (1), time_now < stimer->exp_time and stimer_expiration is not called. The timer then never fires. The patch fixes such situation by not stopping Hyper-V SynIC timer at all, because it's safe to restart it without stop in vcpu context and timer callback always returns HRTIMER_NORESTART.
