From 47d6a4638ea73965ce1a43248e27b688dddc26ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oliver Steffen Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2024 19:00:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] OvmfPkg: Rerun dispatcher after initializing virtio-rng RH-Author: Oliver Steffen RH-MergeRequest: 84: OvmfPkg: Rerun dispatcher after initializing virtio-rng RH-Jira: RHEL-58631 RH-Acked-by: Gerd Hoffmann RH-Commit: [1/1] d663321aab28f000c279bfac6dbaaa378678532e (osteffen/edk2) Since the pixiefail CVE fix the network stack requires a hardware random number generator. This can currently be a modern CPU supporting the RDRAND instruction or a virtio-rng device. The latter is initialized during the BDS phase. To ensure all depending (network) modules are also started, we need to run the dispatcher once more after the device was initialized. Without this, network boot is not available under certain hardware configurations.
