Current efibootmgr automatically creates the
boot options of all disks and partitions installing
EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL.
Some of the automatically created boot options are
useless if the disk and partition does not have
the default file(e.g. EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI).

This commit only creates the boot option if the disk and
partition have the default file so that system can directly
boot from it.

I don't directly see the user benefit.

The user can add an HTTP boot option now and the installer will
automatically start.  That would allow products to ship with a single
boot option provisioned and run an installer on first boot

This commit is not about HTTP. It changes how boot options for block
devices are created.



Reading all file systems will increase the boot time. Shouldn't we avoid this?

Any idea what would be an alternative?  But when we added the
automatic boot options we said we should avoid dynamic scanning and
store results in a file.  This is doing a similar thing.  The only
difference is that it mounts the iso image before adding the boot
option.

The alternative is to keep showing boot options for block devices even
if there is no BOOTxxxx.EFI file.



What does EDK II do?

No Idea :)


On my workstation I get generated boot options

Boot0001* UEFI:CD/DVD Drive     BBS(129,,0x0)
Boot0003* UEFI:Removable Device BBS(130,,0x0)
Boot0004* UEFI:Network Device   BBS(131,,0x0)

without any media inserted and without any PXE server available.

It is just information about how the EDK2 works.
When I attach the Fedora installation media on EDK2(OVMF),
the automatically generated boot option is as follows.

UEFI QEMU HARDDISK QM00001 : PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x1)/Ata(Primary,Master,0x0)

An ATAPI drive typically is not removable. So I wonder why it is listed.
Did you set the removable flag on the command line?

I guess it is not removable(actually I don't know how to set the
device as removable).
I just attached the iso image to QEMU with something like '-hda
Fedora_netinst.iso".

According to the EDK II implementation[1], the boot option is
enumerated with the following order.
   1. Removable BlockIo
   2. Fixed BlockIo
   3. Non-BlockIo SimpleFileSystem
   4. LoadFile
So boot option for the fixed device such as HDD is also automatically created.

[1] 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdeModulePkg/Library/UefiBootManagerLib/BmBoot.c#L2150



When this boot option is selected, Fedora installer automatically starts.
So EDK II is searching the default file on the fly.

What is shown if you attach a medium without Bootaa64.efi?

The same boot option is created.
UEFI QEMU HARDDISK QM00001 : PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1,0x1)/Ata(Primary,Master,0x0)

For USB devices there is a flag controlling if the device is removable:

qemu-system-riscv64 -M virt -kernel u-boot.bin -nographic -device
qemu-xhci -drive if=none,file=disk.img,format=raw,id=USB1 -device
usb-storage,drive=USB1,removable=on

This allows us to test the handling of removable devices in the boot
manager.

Thanks,

Thanks
/Ilias

Does the UEFI specification warrant this change?

Best regards
