Subject: [PATCH] MdeModulePkg/DxeCore: Remove redundant code in Tpl.c
Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2017 10:47:25 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171114024725.82392-1-ruiyu.ni@intel.com> (raw)

(MdeModulePkg\Core\Dxe\Event\Tpl.c) line 120-122
-----------------------------------------------------------------
120  if (OldTpl >= TPL_HIGH_LEVEL  &&  NewTpl < TPL_HIGH_LEVEL) {
121    gEfiCurrentTpl = TPL_HIGH_LEVEL;
122  }
-----------------------------------------------------------------

First, the newly assigned *gEfiCurrentTpl* is never used before next
re-assignment by the code that follows.

Second, The "OldTpl" comes from "gEfiCurrentTpl".
If "OldTpl >= TPL_HIGH_LEVEL" holds, the timer interrupt *must* have
been disabled according to the semantic of TPL_HIGH_LEVEL.
Since Uefi FW executes as single-threaded *strictly*, no other code
will possibly visit the "gEfiCurrentTpl".

So the 3 lines of code should be redundant.
