From: Rajnesh Kanwal <rkanwal@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6eff38048944cadc3cddcf117acfa5199ec32490 ] In case when VCPU is blocked due to WFI, we schedule the timer from `kvm_riscv_vcpu_timer_blocking()` to keep timer interrupt ticking. But in case when delta_ns comes to be zero, we never schedule the timer and VCPU keeps sleeping indefinitely until any activity is done with VM console. This is easily reproduce-able using kvmtool. ./lkvm-static run -c1 --console virtio -p "earlycon root=/dev/vda" \ -k ./Image -d rootfs.ext4 Also, just add a print in kvm_riscv_vcpu_vstimer_expired() to check the interrupt delivery and run `top` or similar auto-upating cmd from guest. Within sometime one can notice that print from timer expiry routine stops and the `top` cmd output will stop updating. This change fixes this by making sure we schedule the timer even with delta_ns being zero to bring the VCPU out of sleep immediately.
