In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: LoongArch: KVM: Mark hrtimer to expire in hard interrupt context Like commit 2c0d278f3293f ("KVM: LAPIC: Mark hrtimer to expire in hard interrupt context") and commit 9090825fa9974 ("KVM: arm/arm64: Let the timer expire in hardirq context on RT"), On PREEMPT_RT enabled kernels unmarked hrtimers are moved into soft interrupt expiry mode by default. Then 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. So let the timer expire on hard-IRQ context even on -RT.
