Re: [edk2] [PATCH V2 3/3] DuetPkg FsVariable: Update GetNextVariableName to follow UEFI 2.7
I meant the behavior by the spec was unpredictable. "Passing in a VariableName parameter that is neither a Null-terminated string nor a value that was returned on the previous call to GetNextVariableName() may also produce *unpredictable* results." The behavior by the code was to return EFI_NOT_FOUND, it was our code's implementation choice. Do you mean which piece of comments to be put in code? :) Thanks, Star -Original Message- From: Ni, Ruiyu Sent: Monday, June 26, 2017 2:18 PM To: Zeng, Star; edk2-devel@lists.01.org Cc: Gao, Liming Subject: RE: [PATCH V2 3/3] DuetPkg FsVariable: Update GetNextVariableName to follow UEFI 2.7 Thanks!

Re: [edk2] [PATCH V2 3/3] DuetPkg FsVariable: Update GetNextVariableName to follow UEFI 2.7
Before UEFI 2.6a and 2.7, the behavior is unpredictable, our *CODE* chose to return EFI_NOT_FOUND. "Passing in a VariableName parameter that is neither a Null-terminated string nor a value that was returned on the previous call to GetNextVariableName() may also produce unpredictable results."

Re: [edk2] [PATCH V2 3/3] DuetPkg FsVariable: Update GetNextVariableName to follow UEFI 2.7
It is to return EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER when the input VariableName and VendorGuid are not a valid variable to search next variable. It is added from UEFI 2.7 spec. Before the spec change, the code is to return EFI_NOT_FOUND at that case. After the spec change, EFI_NOT_FOUND seemingly is reserved to indicate the ending of searching.

Re: [edk2] [PATCH V2 3/3] DuetPkg FsVariable: Update GetNextVariableName to follow UEFI 2.7
Ray, The code is like low hanging fruit from my practice for me, and I don't think it hurts readability although it may not bring performance improvement, it depends on how many variables in variable region, how many times of calling GetNextVariableName, and how fast of GetNextVariableName. The code practice I did is on NT32 and my real platforms. Is there anyone can make sure he/she tested all the systems in the world for their code? Anyway, I can update the patch if you insist.

Star, I don't recommend to add the additional check for performance consideration. Because we have no idea what the input VariableName buffer is like. If the VariableName is like ['\0', '?', '?', '?'] with MaxLen equals to 4, "VariableName[MaxLen-1] != 0" check is redundant. The NT32 case you met cannot represent the all possible cases.

Re: [edk2] [PATCH V2 3/3] DuetPkg FsVariable: Update GetNextVariableName to follow UEFI 2.7
Ray, It is to pass the check quickly and avoid scanning all the chars in VariableName by StrnLenS for normal boot without invalid cases. I did experiments in the code of GetNextVariableName with below debug code for normal boot on NT32 and my real platforms, all the cases will go into the branch "xxx 2". if (((VariableName[MaxLen - 1] != 0))) { DEBUG ((DEBUG_INFO, "xxx 1\n")); } else { DEBUG ((DEBUG_INFO, "xxx 2\n")); } Thanks, Star -Original Message- From: Ni, Ruiyu Sent: Friday, June 23, 2017 4:20 PM To: Zeng, Star; edk2-devel@lists.01.org Cc: Gao, Liming Subject: RE: [PATCH V2 3/3] DuetPkg FsVariable: Update GetNextVariableName to follow UEFI 2.7 Star, What's the benefit of this check "VariableName[MaxLen - 1] != 0"?

[edk2] [PATCH V2 3/3] DuetPkg FsVariable: Update GetNextVariableName to follow UEFI 2.7
"The size must be large enough to fit input string supplied in VariableName buffer" is added in the description for VariableNameSize. And two cases of EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER are added. 1. The input values of VariableName and VendorGuid are not a name and GUID of an existing variable. 2. Null-terminator is not found in the first VariableNameSize bytes of the input VariableName buffer. This patch is to update code to follow them.
