[edk2] [PATCH] MdeModulePkg/BdsDxe: Don't delete "BootNext" until booting it
Posted by Ruiyu Ni 7 years, 2 months ago
Current implementation deletes the "BootNext" before calling
any PlatformBootManagerLib APIs, but if system resets in
PlatformBootManagerLib APIs, "BootNext" is not consumed but lost.

The patch defers the deletion of "BootNext" to before booting it.

Re: [edk2] [PATCH] MdeModulePkg/BdsDxe: Don't delete "BootNext" until booting it
Posted by Zeng, Star 7 years, 2 months ago
I am ok with the code logic change, but a little confused by the new comment. It seems not match with the commit log.

" This could avoid the "BootNext" set by PlatformBootManagerLib be consumed in this boot. "


Thanks,
Star

This could avoid the "BootNext" set by PlatformBootManagerLib be consumed in *this* boot.

If I add "*" around "this", is it more clear?

Re: [edk2] [PATCH] MdeModulePkg/BdsDxe: Don't delete "BootNext" until booting it
Posted by Zeng, Star 7 years, 2 months ago
The commit log is saying the "BootNext" *DELETED* (before PlatformBootManagerLib) may be *LOST* if there is reset during PlatformBootManagerLib. I realized it.

The comment is saying to avoid the "BootNext" "SET" by PlatformBootManagerLib. Sorry I am not getting the point.

Thanks,
Star

Re: [edk2] [PATCH] MdeModulePkg/BdsDxe: Don't delete "BootNext" until booting it
Posted by Ni, Ruiyu 7 years, 2 months ago
I didn't change the position of code to cache "BootNext", because:
This could avoid the "BootNext" (set by PlatformBootManagerLib) be consumed in *this* boot.

Maybe this time it's more clear.

Re: [edk2] [PATCH] MdeModulePkg/BdsDxe: Don't delete "BootNext" until booting it
Posted by Zeng, Star 7 years, 2 months ago
Ok, got it, tks. The new comment is showing why cache "BootNext" logic is still kept there, the commit log is showing the reason of the patch change. Make sense. :)

I didn't change the position of code to cache "BootNext", because:
This could avoid the "BootNext" (set by PlatformBootManagerLib) be consumed in *this* boot.

Maybe this time it's more clear.

Re: [edk2] [PATCH] MdeModulePkg/BdsDxe: Don't delete "BootNext" until booting it
Posted by Wang, Sunny (HPS SW) 7 years, 2 months ago
The change Looks good to me. 
Also, Good to see you adding the comment about why we need to cache BootNext before all the platform hook function calls. :)

Subject: [edk2] [PATCH] MdeModulePkg/BdsDxe: Don't delete "BootNext" until booting it

Current implementation deletes the "BootNext" before calling any PlatformBootManagerLib APIs, but if system resets in PlatformBootManagerLib APIs, "BootNext" is not consumed but lost.

The patch defers the deletion of "BootNext" to before booting it.
