From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2019 14:29:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] KVM: arm/arm64: Let the timer expire in hardirq context on RT Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.2/older/patches-5.2.17-rt9.tar.xz The timers are canceled from an preempt-notifier which is invoked with disabled preemption which is not allowed on PREEMPT_RT. The timer callback is short so in could be invoked in hard-IRQ context on -RT. Let the timer expire on hard-IRQ context even on -RT.
