Hi Hao,

Thanks for the suggestion. I can move the library to MdePkg similar to SmmMemLib and add the change for OVMF.

Liming/Zhiguang,

I am happy to prepare patches to cover the dependency change in ed2-platform in a separate patch series. But please let me know if you would like to proceed otherwise.

Thanks,
Kun

Hello Kun,

Sorry for the delayed response.

Except for missing the UNI file for the newly added library, I do not have other comment for the implementation at this moment.
But I am wondering if this library can be added into the MdePkg as the case for MdePkg\Library\SmmMemLib\
I have looped in Jiewen, Liming and Mike for comments.

Also, since:
* New library dependency for VariableSmmRuntimeDxe.inf
* INF file separation and new library dependency in Tcg2Smm
I think the series needs to prepare the changes for platforms under edk2 (OVMF) and edk2-platforms repositories that consume the above 2 modules.
I am not exactly sure on how this should be handled within edk2-platforms, so I added Liming and Zhiguang here for comments.

Best Regards,
Hao Wu

Hi Hao,

The patch series was resent with intended usage in VariableRuntime and Tcg2 drivers. Could you please provide feedback on them? Any input is appreciated.

Regards,
Kun

REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3168

This interface definition provides an abstraction layer for DXE drivers
to request certain memory blocks to be mapped/unblocked for accessibility
inside MM environment.
