[PATCH V1 2/3] efi: Introduce efi_rts_workqueue and necessary infrastructure to invoke all efi_runtime_services()

From: Sai Praneeth Prakhya
Date: Sat Feb 24 2018 - 17:17:44 EST


From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prakhya@xxxxxxxxx>

When a process requests the kernel to execute any efi_runtime_service(),
the requested efi_runtime_service (represented as an identifier) and its
arguments are packed into a struct named efi_runtime_work and queued
onto work queue named efi_rts_wq. The caller then waits until the work
is completed.

Introduce necessary infrastructure:
1. Creating workqueue named efi_rts_wq
2. A macro (efi_queue_work()) that
a. populates efi_runtime_work
b. queues work onto efi_rts_wq and
c. waits until worker thread returns
3. A handler function that
a. understands efi_runtime_work and
b. invokes the appropriate efi_runtime_service() with the
appropriate arguments

The caller thread has to wait until the worker thread returns, because
it's dependent on the return status of efi_runtime_service() and, in
specific cases, the arguments populated by efi_runtime_service(). Some
efi_runtime_services() takes a pointer to buffer as an argument and
fills up the buffer with requested data. For instance,
efi_get_variable() and efi_get_next_variable(). Hence, caller process
cannot just post the work and get going.

Some facts about efi_runtime_services():
1. A quick look at all the efi_runtime_services() shows that any
efi_runtime_service() has five or less arguments.
2. An argument of efi_runtime_service() can be a value (of any type)
or a pointer (of any type).
Hence, efi_runtime_work has five void pointers to store these arguments.

Semantics followed by efi_call_rts() to understand efi_runtime_work:
1. If argument was a pointer, recast it from void pointer to original
pointer type.
2. If argument was a value, recast it from void pointer to original
pointer type and dereference it.
