From 54edc37a22ecd7d640e449f098575ef2ff22f315 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilias Apalodimas Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2023 13:17:36 +0300 Subject: efi_loader: make efi_delete_handle() follow the EFI spec The EFI doesn't allow removal of handles, unless all hosted protocols are cleanly removed. Our efi_delete_handle() is a bit intrusive. Although it does try to delete protocols before removing a handle, it doesn't care if that fails. Instead it only returns an error if the handle is invalid. On top of that none of the callers of that function check the return code. So let's rewrite this in a way that fits the EFI spec better. Instead of forcing the handle removal, gracefully uninstall all the handle protocols. According to the EFI spec when the last protocol is removed the handle will be deleted. Also switch all the callers and check the return code. Some callers can't do anything useful apart from reporting an error. The disk related functions on the other hand, can prevent a medium that is being used by EFI from removal. The only function that doesn't check the result is efi_delete_image(). But that function needs a bigger rework anyway, so we can clean it up in the future Signed-off-by: Ilias Apalodimas Reviewed-by: Heinrich Schuchardt --- include/efi_loader.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include') diff --git a/include/efi_loader.h b/include/efi_loader.h index b5fa0fe01de..3a64eb9c667 100644 --- a/include/efi_loader.h +++ b/include/efi_loader.h @@ -629,7 +629,7 @@ void efi_add_handle(efi_handle_t obj); /* Create handle */ efi_status_t efi_create_handle(efi_handle_t *handle); /* Delete handle */ -void efi_delete_handle(efi_handle_t obj); +efi_status_t efi_delete_handle(efi_handle_t obj); /* Call this to validate a handle and find the EFI object for it */ struct efi_object *efi_search_obj(const efi_handle_t handle); /* Locate device_path handle */ -- cgit v1.2.3
