[PATCH] Fix microcode-related suspend problem

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Sat Mar 31 2007 - 16:01:18 EST


Hi,

This patch appeard on LMKL six days ago and there have not been any negative
comments since then, so I think I can try to make it official.

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>

Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code ordering
that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode driver to
hang during the resume.

The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in its
CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and hangs.
It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the microcode stored in
memory during the resume instead of trying to load it from disk.
