From c720282a255683d7f344b7f5b7958dfae67723c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ashok Raj Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2022 13:08:27 -0800 Subject: x86/microcode/intel: Do not retry microcode reloading on the APs commit be1b670f61443aa5d0d01782e9b8ea0ee825d018 upstream. The retries in load_ucode_intel_ap() were in place to support systems with mixed steppings. Mixed steppings are no longer supported and there is only one microcode image at a time. Any retries will simply reattempt to apply the same image over and over without making progress.
