Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86/ucode: Fold microcode_update_cpu() and fix error handling
Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2024 12:21:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241107122117.4073266-3-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241107122117.4073266-1-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
Fold microcode_update_cpu() into its single remaining caller and simplify the
logic by removing the patch != NULL path with microcode_mutex held.
Explain why we bother grabbing the microcode revision even if we can't load
microcode.
Furthermore, delete the -EIO path. An error updating microcode on AP boot or
S3 resume is certainly bad, but freeing the cache is about the worst possible
action we can take in response; it prevents subsequent APs from taking an
update they might have accepted.
This avoids a double collect_cpu_info() call on each AP.
