Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/6] x86/microcode: Support for Intel Staging Feature
Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2025 14:27:15 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250228222715.3306015-1-colinmitchell@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <b0cf3395-ed21-4f48-ab49-81c67f6a032a@intel.com>
As a potential user, I'd advocate for an option to disable legacy
loading if staging is supported.
The difference in quiesce time between staging and legacy loading
can be significant. Since late loading is more of an explicit active
action, I would believe allowing the initiating process freedom of a retry
loop or handling any errors from staging makes sense.
Presumably load_late_locked could return an error on failure
to stage leading to an appropriate print.
