Support Redfish Task #34

Open nicklela opened 1 year ago

nicklela commented 1 year ago

Per discussion in Redfish forum, BMC and UEFI should use Redfish Task to support secure boot database. We can create a driver to dispatch Redfish task to corresponding feature drivers.

Some idea:

Create EDKII_REDFISH_TASK_DISPATCH_PROTOCOL to dispatch Redfish tasks. Feature driver register its URI to this protocol and wait for incoming task
Integrate Redfish task into FEATURE_CORE_PROTOCOL.

Since there is no spec way to provide Task state from host to BMC, a platform library will be provided for platform to implement this part. For example, OEM IPMI command or special Redfish URI for updating Redfish Task state or message.
