[edk2-devel][Patch v2 0/7] Implement Capsule On Disk.

[Felix Polyudov]

1. It looks like the implementation processes capsule files in PEI.
According to UEFI specification capsule files are stored on the active ESP.
Not every UEFI boot device can be accessed in PEI.
For example, RAID connected to the PCI plug in card cannot be accessed in PEI.

2. Solution B) below relocates capsule to "a temp file which will be stored in root directory". I think it is cleaner to reuse UEFI capsule-on-disk infrastructure and keep capsule file in  the dedicated \EFI\UpdateCapsule folder (refer to "Delivery of Capsules via file on Mass Storage device" section of the UEFI specification).

Subject: [edk2-devel][Patch v2 0/7] Implement Capsule On Disk.

V2:
Fix Ecc check failure.

V1:
BZ: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1852

This patch set implements Capsule On Disk.
Depends on whether platform supports Capsule-In-Ram, Capsule On Disk feature is composed of 2 solutions:
Solution A): Load capsules out of TCB, rely on UpdateCapsule() runtime service to deliver Capsule-On-Disk.
Solution B): Relocate capsules into a temp file which will be stored in root directory on a platform specific storage device.
Leverage existing storage stack in PEI to load all capsule on disk images and create capsule hobs for the capsules.
This solution has bigger TCB, but can work without Capsule-In-RAM support.
