QueryVariableInfo() is a runtime services, all runtime services should
available bother on boot time and runtime:
UEFI spec 2.3.1 P.109:
Runtime Services
Functions that are available before and after any call to
ExitBootServices(). These functions are described in Section 7.

Yes, I agreed your point, the space information of
EFI_VARIABLE_BOOTSERVICE_ACCESS should still return by
QueryVariableInfo() because we call it before ExitBootServices():
arch/x86/boot/compressed/eboot.c
efi_main(void *handle, efi_system_table_t *_table, struct boot_params *boot_params)
..
sys_table = _table;
/* Check if we were booted by the EFI firmware */
if (sys_table->hdr.signature != EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE_SIGNATURE)
goto fail;
boot_params->secure_boot = get_secure_boot(sys_table) /* check does BIOS in secure boot mode */
setup_graphics(boot_params);
setup_efi_vars(boot_params); /* Pass boot services variable info to runtime code, call QueryVariableInfo() */
...
status = exit_boot(boot_params, handle); /* call ExitBootServices() */
...
Thanks a lot!
