Subject: [GIT PULL] EFI fix for v6.9 (#1)
Date: Fri, 3 May 2024 13:03:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240503110302.2339230-2-ardb+git@google.com> (raw)
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Hello Linus,
Please pull the EFI fix below - it works around a shortcoming in the memory
acceptation API, which may apparently hog the CPU for long enough to trigger
the softlockup watchdog. Note that this only affects confidential VMs running
under the Intel TDX hypervisor, which is why I accepted this for now, but this
should obviously be fixed properly in the future.
The following changes since commit 0bbac3facb5d6cc0171c45c9873a2dc96bea9680:
