eth_bootdev_hunt() should not execute dhcp_run() as this itself would load

Instead just check that there is a network device.
If you look at dhcp_run() you will see an 'autoload' parameter. This
is 'false' in this code, so it never loads a file.
This is not the complete truth.
If $autostart=true and CONFIG_NET=y, dhcp_run(false) still tries to load
a file.
Here is the code:
int dhcp_run(ulong addr, const char *fname, bool autoload)
{
char *dhcp_argv[] = {"dhcp", NULL, (char *)fname, NULL};
struct cmd_tbl cmdtp = {}; /* dummy */
char file_addr[17];
int old_autoload;
int ret, result;
log_debug("addr=%lx, fname=%s, autoload=%d\n", addr, fname, autoload);
old_autoload = env_get_yesno("autoload");
ret = env_set("autoload", autoload ? "y" : "n");
if (ret)
return log_msg_ret("en1", -EINVAL);
It respects the autoload parameter. If there is a bug in that, we
should fix it, but it seems to work OK to me. Please fix your commit
message.
The cited code only sets "autoload". It does not adjust "autostart".
As I have shown below this leads to trying to boot via DHCP.
This is exactly what the commit message says: "load a file and boot it
if autostart=yes".
Oh, I just thought they were the same and I didn't remember about autostart
In all cases dhcp_run() wastes boot time.
Yes, it uses time. With bootstd the hunters are only called as needed.
In your case you are calling all of them at once.
Is there a way to just call hunters which relate to block devices, perhaps?
We need to probe network to provide the simple network protocol
(lib/efi_loader/efi_net.c) but we don't need to execute DHCP.
We also need the correct device-tree provided by the extension hunter.
It would be good to get some use of that, as it has no tests really.
As I ask on the other patch, why do you need to probe?
You asked on the Network protocol.
If your idea is that the concept of extensions is not yet deployed, is
there a good way to exclude BOOTDEV_HUNTER(extension_bootdev_hunter)?
