[PATCH v2 19/41] bootstd: Add the concept of a bootflow

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Sun Oct 24 01:26:13 CEST 2021


A bootflow encapsulates the process used to boot an operating system.
It typically has a control file (such as extlinux.conf) and information
about which 'bootdev' it came from.

Add the header file for this first, since it is needed by all other
files.

+ * Iteration starts with the bootdev. The first partition (0, i.e. whole device)
+ * is scanned first. For partition 0, it iterates through all the available
+ * bootmeths to see which one(s) can provide a bootflow. Then it moves to
+ * parition 1 (if there is one) and the process continues. Once all partitions
+ * are examined, it moves to the next bootdev.
+ *
+ * Initially @max_part is 0, meaning that only the whole device (@part=0) can be
+ * used. During scanning, if a partition table is found, then @max_part is
+ * updated to a larger value, no less than the number of available partitions.
+ * This ensures that iteration works through all partitions on the bootdev.

+ * @part: Current partition number (0 for whole device)
+ * @method: Current bootmeth
+ * @max_part: Maximum hardware partition number in @dev, 0 if there is no
+ *	partition table
+ * @err: Error obtained from checking the last iteration. This is used to skip
+ *	forward (e.g. to skip the current partition because it is not valid)
+ *	-ESHUTDOWN: try next bootdev
+ * @num_devs: Number of bootdevs in @dev_order
+ * @cur_dev: Current bootdev number, an index into @dev_order[]
+ * @dev_order: List of bootdevs to scan, in order of priority. The scan starts
+ *	with the first one on the list
