Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] Ext4Pkg: Improve Ext4IsBindingSupported() behavior

["Jeff Brasen" <jbrasen@nvidia.com>]

Yeah we need by_driver on at least one protocol to prevent re-binding to the controller. It will return ALREADY_STARTED if this driver already has it open (from in Start) or ACCESS_DENIED if another driver is holding this.

I can covert both to by_driver if that is desired.

Will make the other little changes as well once I get a desired direction on how to open BlockIo.


Thanks,

Jeff

No, the UEFI spec demands Supported() to use the same Attributes as
Start() (likely for these very performance reasons), actually I thought
both need BY_DRIVER.
