Subject: [PATCH 2/2] i8253: Fix PIT shutdown quirk on Hyper-V
Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2018 17:32:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1541093509-10576-1-git-send-email-mikelley@microsoft.com> (raw)

pit_shutdown() doesn't work on Hyper-V because of a quirk in the
PIT emulation. This problem exists in all versions of Hyper-V and
had not been noticed previously. When the counter register is set
to zero, the emulated PIT continues to interrupt @18.2 HZ. So
skip setting the counter register when running on Hyper-V.
