The block IO protocol may be installed on any handle. We should make no assumption about the structure the handle points to.

efi_disk_is_system_part() makes an illegal widening cast from a handle to a struct efi_disk_obj. Remove the function.

NAK. If this is a problem, please fix the function rather than remove it.

The first priority is that the code cannot crash. Keeping the current implementation is not an option.

As you introduced the problematic code I would appreciate your contribution to the solution.

The UEFI specification requires to find the ESP on the device of the active boot partition. But this is not what efi_disk_is_system_part() ever did. It only checked if the active boot option pointed to a file on an ESP.

IsEfiSysPartitionDevicePath() in EDK II indentifies an ESP by either a protocol using the EFI system partition GUID or a GPT HD() device path node with the same GUID. I think just using the protocol should be good enough.

You seem to already know the solution. Why not fix the problem by yourself?

As side effect capsules might be read from non-ESP partitions.

UEFI specification requires that capsules be loaded from ESP.
