Hi Mike,
1) Yes, we can certainly leave more of the unsuccessful vendor range
available for future expansion. I believe we can also reduce the FMP
reserved range. How about a length of 0x800 for both?
The ranges would then be defined as follows:
START | END | Usage
------------------------------------------------------------------|
0x1000 | 0x17FF | FmpDevicePkg |
0x1000 | 0x107F | FmpDxe driver |
0x1080 | 0x109F | FMP dependencies (e.g. FmpDependencyLib) |
0x1800 | 0x1FFF | FmpDeviceLib instances implementation |
0x2000 | 0x3FFF | Unused. Available for future expansion. |
Also, I don't see a problem with removing the length defines and
directly specifying min/max defines for each range.
2.) I understand the compatibility concern but as you noted it is
cleaner to maintain a single interface. I believe making the transition
to the new API will only become more difficult in the future as it may
go unnoticed resulting in implementations that don't implement support
for this capability leading to an increasing amount of future effort to
do work that could be done now. Perhaps we could get thoughts from
others as well?
3.) I will update these to return back an expected value.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
A couple a couple general questions:
1) I see the entire range from 0x2000-0x3FFF is reserved for FmpDeviceLib. If
we
every add more device/platform specific libs for FMP, there are no ranges
available.
Should we limit the FmpDeviceLib to a smaller range to support future
expansion?
Also, the style of LastAttemptStatus.h with extra defines for the length of
each range is hard to read, and I do not think there are any consumers of
the
length defines from this public include file. Since there are really only 3
defined ranges, couldn't this be simplified to min/max defines for each
range
for a total of 6 #defines. I do not expect ranges (once defined) to change
in
length, and the most that might happen in the future is adding new ranges
for
new lib classes in the unused ranges.
2) This series makes non-backwards compatible changes to some of the lib
classes.
I agree this is the cleanest way to add support for the vendor specific
last attempt status. It does mean that existing implementations will have
to update their lib implementations to be compatible with this new version.
I would be slightly cleaner to introduce new APIs with support for the
vendor specific last attempt status codes. Then update all libs to produce
both the existing APIs and the new APIs (The old APIs can call the new
APIs).
Then update FmpDxe to use the new APIs. This would be 3 patch series.
If FmpDxe never calls the old APIs, then we could (at a future date)
delete the old APIs from the lib class and the lib implementations could
remove the old API that calls the new API.
3) The following APIs in the Null implementations have OUT params.
Should these OUT params be set to an expected value?
CheckFmpDependency()
FmpDeviceGetImage()
FmpDeviceSetImage()
Thanks,
Mike

Subject: [PATCH v3 0/6] Extend Last Attempt Status Usage
From: Michael Kubacki <[email protected]>
REF:https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2802
This patch series adds more granularity to Last Attempt Status
codes reported during FMP check image and set image operations
that greatly improve precision of the status codes.
The unsuccessful vendor range (0x1000 - 0x4000) was introduced
in UEFI Specification 2.8. At a high-level, two subranges are
defined within that range in this patch series:
1. The FMP Reserved range - reserved for components implemented
in FmpDevicePkg.
2. The FMP Device Library Reserved range - reserved for
FmpDeviceLib instance-specific usage.
The ranges are described in a public header file LastAttemptStatus.h
while the specific codes used within FmpDevicePkg implementation
are defined in a private header file FmpLastAttemptStatus.h.
FmpDeviceLib instances should use the range definition from the
public header file to define Last Attempt Status codes local to
their library instance.
Of note, there's multiple approaches to assigning private status
codes in the FMP Reserved range. For example, individual components
could define their last attempt status codes locally with the
range allocated to the component defined in a package-wide private
header file. However, one goal of the granularity being introduced
is to provide straightforward traceability to an error source.
For that reason, it was chosen to define a constant set of codes at
the package level in FmpLastAttemptStatus.h. For example, if a new
FmpDependencyLib instance is added, it would not be able to reassign
status code values in the pre-existing FMP Dependency range; it
would reuse codes for the same error source and be able to add new
codes onto the range for its usage. I wanted to highlight this for
any feedback.
V3 changes:
1. Enhanced range definitions in LastAttemptStatus.h with more
completeness providing length, min, and max values.
2. Moved the actual Last Attempt Status code assignments to a
private header file PrivateInclude/FmpLastAttemptStatus.h.
3. Changed the value of
LAST_ATTEMPT_STATUS_ERROR_UNSUCCESSFUL_VENDOR_RANGE_MAX
to 0x3FFF instead of 0x4000 even though 0x4000 is defined in
the UEFI specification. The length is 0x4000 but the max
allowed value should be 0x3FFF. This change was made now to
prevent implementation compatibility issues in the future.
4. Included "DEVICE" in the following macro name to clearly
associate it with the FmpDeviceLib library class:
LAST_ATTEMPT_STATUS_DEVICE_LIBRARY_ERROR_xxx
5. Included a map to help the reader better visualize the range
definitions in LastAttemptStatus.h.
6. Included additional documentation describing the enum in
FmpLastAttemptStatus.h. An explicit statement stating that new
codes should be added onto the end of ranges to preserve the
values was added.
7. Simplified error handling logic in FmpDxe for FmpDeviceLib
calls that return Last Attempt Status.
8. V2 had a single memory allocation failure code used for
different memory allocations in CheckFmpDependency () in
FmpDependencyLib. Each potential allocation failure was
assigned a unique code.
V2 changes:
1. Consolidate all previous incremental updates to
LastAttemptStatus.h into one patch (patch 2)
2. Move LastAttemptStatus.h from Include to PrivateInclude
3. Correct patch 1 subject from "FmpDevicePkg" to "MdePkg"
