* [efi] Avoid unnecessarily passing pointers to EFI_HANDLEsMichael Brown2014-07-311-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | efi_file_install() and efi_download_install() are both used to install onto existing handles. There is therefore no need to allow for each of their calls to InstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces() to create a new handle. By passing the handle directly (rather than a pointer to the handle), we avoid potential confusion (and erroneous debug message colours). Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [efi] Default to releasing network devices for use via SNPMichael Brown2014-07-301-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently treat network devices as available for use via the SNP API only if RX queue processing has been frozen. (This is similar in spirit to the way that RX queue processing is frozen for the network device currently exposed via the PXE API.) The default state of a freshly created network device is for the RX queue to not be frozen, and thus to be unavailable for use via SNP. This causes problems when devices are added through code paths other than _efidrv_start() (which explicitly releases devices for use via SNP). We don't actually need to freeze RX queue processing, since calls via the SNP API will always use netdev_poll() rather than net_poll(), and so will never trigger the RX queue processing code path anyway. We can therefore simplify the code to use a single global flag to indicate whether network devices are claimed for use by iPXE or available for use via SNP. Using a global flag allows the default state for dynamically created network devices to behave sensibly. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [efi] Perform meaningful error code conversionsMichael Brown2013-04-191-8/+19
| | | | | | | | Exploit the redefinition of iPXE error codes to include a "platform error code" to allow for meaningful conversion of EFI_STATUS values to iPXE errors and vice versa. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [efi] Expose downloaded images via EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOLMichael Brown2013-03-131-21/+13Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Expose iPXE's images as a UEFI file system, allowing the booted image to access all images downloaded by iPXE. This functionality is complementary to the custom iPXE download protocol. The iPXE download protocol allows a booted image to utilise iPXE to download arbitrary URIs, but requires the booted image to specifically support the custom iPXE download protocol. The new functionality limits the booted image to accessing only files that were already downloaded by iPXE (e.g. as part of a script), but can work with any generic UEFI image (e.g. the UEFI shell). Both protocols are provided simultaneously, and are attached to the SNP device handle. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
* [efi] Add iPXE download protocolJarrod Johnson2012-02-151-0/+233
iPXE exposes some extended capabilities via the PXE FILE API to allow NBPs such as pxelinux to use protocols other than TFTP. Provide an equivalent interface as a UEFI protocol so that EFI binaries may also take advantage of iPXE's extended capabilities. This can be used with a patched version of elilo, for example: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.elilo.general/147 Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
