Re: [edk2] [PATCH 2/2] MdePkg/UefiGpt.h: Add new definition for enable GPT support

2019-01-25 Thread Gao, Liming
Chen:
  I agree with Hao. For UEFI definition, please add EFI_ prefix. And, reuse the 
existing definition, not introduce new one. 

Thanks

I would suggest to use the existing definition and avoid adding a
'duplicated' definition.

Does it comes from the below content within the UEFI spec?

If so, I am not sure whether 'EFI_' prefix should be added before 
'GPT_PART_ENTRY_MIN_SIZE'.

Liming, could you help to confirm?

Chen: I have no strong opinion on ' GPT_PART_ENTRY_MIN_SIZE' and 
'EFI_GPT_PART_ENTRY_MIN_SIZE'.

I do not get your point, what prevents you from getting the LBA information for 
the byte array?

Chen: Yes, GPT DXE driver use UNPACK_UINT32 macro to extract UINT32 from 
array. But I thought use UINT32 type get the value more directly.

If so, I am not sure whether 'EFI_' prefix should be added before

I do not get your point, what prevents you from getting the LBA

May I know where this definition comes from?
Does it come from the UEFI spec?

Chen: The MACRO is not explicitly defined in UEFI Spec, But UEFI Spec specifies 
a minimum value for GPT entry araray.

What about using the 'MBR_PARTITION_RECORD' definition within 
edk2/MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Mbr.h

and thus get rid of adding this one?

Chen: This structure defined as the following format in Mbr.h

typedef struct {
  ..
  UINT8 StartingLBA[4];
  UINT8 SizeInLBA[4];
} MBR_PARTITION_RECORD;

For StartingLBA, this field is represented the LBA, so I think it should be 
UINT32 type not an array type.

The same meaning is also for SizeInLba.

May I know where this definition comes from?
Does it come from the UEFI spec?

What about using the 'MBR_PARTITION_RECORD' definition within
edk2/MdePkg/Include/IndustryStandard/Mbr.h

and thus get rid of adding this one?
