SW timer is enabled when vcpu thread is scheduled out, and it is to wake up vcpu from blocked queue. If vcpu thread is scheduled out but is not blocked, such as it is preempted by other threads, it is not necessary to enable SW timer. Since vcpu thread is still on running queue if it is preempted and SW timer is only to wake up vcpu on blocking queue, so SW timer is not useful in this situation. This patch enables SW timer only when vcpu is scheduled out and is blocking. Signed-off-by: Bibo Mao <maobibo@loongson.cn> Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@loongson.cn>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
