[PATCH v2 0/1] loongson: Fix idle VS timer enqueue
Posted by Marco Crivellari 10 months, 1 week ago
This patch aim to fix issues if timers are queued because __arch_cpu_idle()
only checks if TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set before going to sleep.

Changes are described in [1], and [2] improve the patch further.

The following patch is the result of [1] and [2] combined.
Code compiled successfully, but I couldn't test the changes because of some
trouble emulating a loongarch machine; I tried to boot with and without
this patch, but a panic occurred, due likely to a wrong VM configuration
(panic occurred right after the i8042 probing).
