A corner case like below will cause a NOT_DISPATCHED FV has no opportunity to be dispatched. 1. FV_RECOVERY has SecCore, PeiCore and some other PEI modules, a module will report FVMAIN_COMPACT and FV_RECOVERY2 in sequence. 2. FVMAIN_COMPACT has a FV image file with GUIDED FV image section in it. 3. FV_RECOVERY2 has DxeIpl and other PEI modules, the DxeIpl will install SectionExtractionPpi If ALL the PEIMs in FV_RECOVERY and FV_RECOVERY2 have DEPEX satisfied and executed in one loop, PeimNeedingDispatch will be always FALSE, FVMAIN_COMPACT will have no opportunity to be decompressed and dispatched as DxeIpl executes after the first processing to FVMAIN_COMPACT.
The patch is to set PeimNeedingDispatch to TRUE when ProcessFvFile() not successfully, then the NOT_DISPATCHED FV could have another opportunity to be processed.
