Message-ID: <0C09AFA07DD0434D9E2A0C6AEB0483103BA7325B@shsmsx102.ccr.corp.intel.com> (raw)

Yes, there may be slowing down perceived with 1s time out. https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commit/a7fd8452964c1a6ffeee1fe07537cb900c0ccb07
But, my understanding to Heyi's question is that caller should be aware default time out value (1000000) will be used if the 0 time out value is input. That should follow UEFI spec and the implementation in MdeModulePkg/Bus/Pci/PciSioSerialDxe and IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Bus/Isa/IsaSerialDxe.
Thanks,
Star

Wasn't there a problem with the default timeout being 1 second, and that
1 second slowing down terminal I/O on some platform? I don't remember more precisely.
Thanks
