[PATCH v2] efi_loader: delete handle from events when a protocol is uninstalled

Ilias Apalodimas ilias.apalodimas at linaro.org
Thu Aug 24 16:21:09 CEST 2023


When a notification event is registered for a protocol the handle of the
protocol is added in our event notification list.  When all the protocols
of the handle are uninstalled we delete the handle but we do not remove
it from the event notification list.

Clean up the protocol removal functions and add a wrapper which
- Removes the to-be deleted handle from any lists it participates
- Remove the handle if no more protocols are present

Changes since v1:
- use the non safe list traversing macros on efi_register_notify_events since
  we don't delete anythig from that list
- Add a comment explaining the code that preserves the handle in case of a
  removal failure
