It could indeed be done automatically, but not always, because by
default it's not needed and also because connecting EFI devices can be
long apparently.
So I fear that as soon as a "search" would fail, triggering the
connection internally will slow down the boot, even though the search
was s
The need to connect looks like an internal implementation detail. Can
we treat it as such and connect when needed automatically rather than
having an extra configuration knob?

When efi.quickboot is enabled on VMWare (which is the default for
hardware release 16 and later), it may happen that not all EFI devices
are connected. Due to this, browsing the devices in make_devices() just

Hi Glenn,
Thanks for reviewing this.
I reworked the feature based on your comments:
- used grub_list
- renamed into "eficonnect"
- added "all" option
See "[PATCH v4 1/2] lsefi: fixed memory leaks (unchanged)"
and "[PATCH v4 2/2] efi: new 'eficonnect' command"
Renaud.

I think both of these patches would be great to get in before
Please ignore, deprecated by "efi: new 'connectefi' command" (v3).
Sorry for the mess.

This set of patches fixes a memory leak in 'lsefi' command and

This is required on VMWare with efi.quickBoot enabled when chainloading
