Subject: Re: [PATCH 00/26] MdeModulePkg Remove redundant functions
Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2018 03:44:41 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0C09AFA07DD0434D9E2A0C6AEB0483103BBA9162@shsmsx102.ccr.corp.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <e8f79a76-0688-8d00-d1b6-fcd1e61b5e41@redhat.com>

I agree with Laszlo.

Back to this patch series, the changes are made in drivers, but not in library.
The internal useless functions removed in core drivers should be not consumed by platform code.
It is consumer's bug if there is real case. :)


Thanks,
Star

We don't.

The general idea in open source development is that, when a contributor modifies central / infrastructure code, they do their best to grep the tree for possible client sites, and to update those sites as well, in a well-structured patch set. Then they CC the maintainers of those client sites too. (It's not necessary that they be able to *test* all that client code too, but the initial effort should be put in, and the maintainers should be notified, for both review's and testing's sake.)

With out-of-tree client sites, the contributor can't do much, beyond posting the patches publicly. Out-of-tree consumers (downstreams) are welcome to:

(a) upstream their platforms to the main tree, so contributors can see and modify them at once,
(b) monitor the mailing list diligently for possibly intrusive changes, and request changes / delays.

I realize (a) doesn't really work here, because we have a separate edk2-platforms tree (maybe yet another edk2-platforms-osi too?) I'm not qualified to comment on whether that's a good idea or not; suffice it to say that, if someone wanted to evict OvmfPkg or ArmVirtPkg from the core
edk2 tree, I'd push back very hard. :)

OTOH, in the specific case, we can consider the following a replacement for (a):

(c) participate in the standardization process (the working groups) and influence the reference implementation through those.

I too agree that this should go in after the quiet period.

Thanks
