Ok, looks like there is some more fallout from this patch series which I
havn't seen in my initial testing. It does not always happen, didn't
figure yet what exactly triggers the behavior. But in some cases there
is quite some network stack activity, apparently done by
EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES event handlers ...
With the debug patch below applied the tail of the ovmf log looks like
this:
VirtioRngExitBoot: Context=0x7D73D798

!(((INTN)(RETURN_STATUS)(Status)) < 0)
The VirtioRngDxe EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES handler resets the
device, to make sure it will stop any DMA.
Once the reset is done the device can't deliver random numbers any more,
but the network code wants some. So with the debug patch an assert is
triggered, without the debug patch the system simply hangs because the
virtio-rng device wouldn't answer request sent by the driver.
I'm wondering what the network code is actually doing here in the first
place? It apparently /installs/ protocols in the
EVT_SIGNAL_EXIT_BOOT_SERVICES handler? I don't think this is how things
are supposed to work ...
take care,
Gerd
