Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH V3] x86, amd_ucode: Skip microcode updates for final levels

I can change this too, but- Any specific reason for this?
The other sanity checker or verification functions like
verify_patch_size() or microcode_fits() return a bool_t too..
"int cpu" is the issue (I am guessing), not the return type.

Thought about that too.. but all the microcode_ops functions accept an
'int cpu'.
I'm just using the same type in check_final_patch_levels().
And ideally all other bad examples would be fixed in a cleanup
patch too - CPU numbers can't be negative. In any event we
should aim at not proliferating such sub-optimal code.



Okay, I can clean that up while at it.

Would it be OK if I did a pre-patch to cleanup the 'int cpu' usage in the microcode* files and then apply this patch on top of it?

Thanks,
