... which is pretty nice, I can get rid of eq_id now as it is private to the container scanning code now and the callers shouldn't care. Cool. Now on to test whether that actually makes sense :-) --- From: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2017 15:55:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/microcode/AMD: Remove struct cont_desc.eq_id The equivalence ID was needed outside of the container scanning logic but now, after this has been cleaned up, not anymore. Now, cont_desc.mc is used to denote whether the container we're looking at has the proper microcode patch for this CPU or not.
