Those 10ms are too +much. Even one ms would be too much. +Ard mentioned that SetVariable might even trigger larger latencies if +the firware will erase flash blocks on NOR. + +The time-functions are used by efi-rtc and can be triggered during +runtimed (either via explicit read/write or ntp sync). + +The variable write could be used by pstore. +These functions can be disabled without much of a loss. The poweroff / +reboot hooks may be provided by PSCI. + +Disable EFI's runtime wrappers. + +This was observed on "EFI v2.60 by SoftIron Overdrive 1000". + +Acked-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> +Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> +--- + drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c | 2 +- + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) + +diff --git a/drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c b/drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c +index 332739f3eded..8d390091203f 100644 +--- a/drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c ++++ b/drivers/firmware/efi/efi.c +@@ -66,7 +66,7 @@ struct mm_struct efi_mm = { + + struct workqueue_struct *efi_rts_wq; + +-static bool disable_runtime; ++static bool disable_runtime = IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT); + static int __init setup_noefi(char *arg) + { + disable_runtime = true; +-- +2.43.0 + |
