Subject: RE: [PATCH 20/23] MdePkg: Add AllocatePagesWithMemoryType
support in PeiMemoryAllocationLib

Hi Min,

This patch adds a new API to the lib class.

That type of change requires updates to all the lib instances.

In the design of the MemoryAllocationLib, of a type specific allocation was
needed, a new API was added for that type. What memory types are needed
that require this new API.

If a variety of memory types are required, then why not just use the
PeiServicesLib API:

EFI_STATUS
EFIAPI
PeiServicesAllocatePages (
IN EFI_MEMORY_TYPE MemoryType,
IN UINTN Pages,
OUT EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS *Memory
);

Thanks,

Mike

Subject: [PATCH 20/23] MdePkg: Add AllocatePagesWithMemoryType

support

in PeiMemoryAllocationLib

RFC： https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3429

Allocates one or more 4KB pages of given type MemoryType.

Allocates the number of 4KB pages of MemoryType and returns a pointer
to the allocated buffer. The buffer returned is aligned on a 4KB boundary.
If Pages is 0, then NULL is returned. If there is not enough memory
remaining to satisfy the request, then NULL is returned.
