[RFC][PATCH 3/7 v2] efivars: New efivar_entry API

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There isn't really a formalised interface for dealing with EFI
variables or struct efivar_entry. This has led to the efivarfs code
directly accessing '__efivars'.

Encapsulate everything that needs to access '__efivars' inside an
efivar_entry_* API and use the new API in the pstore, sysfs and
efivarfs code.

Much of the efivars code had to be rewritten to use this new API. For
instance, it's now up to the users of the API to build the initial
list of EFI variables in their efivar_init() callback function. This
greatly benefits the efivarfs code which needs to allocate inodes and
dentries for every variable, which it previously did in a racy way
because the code ran without holding the variable spinlock.

Now, the core EFI variable code creates /sys/firmware/efi/ and the
separated sysfs code creates /sys/firmware/efi/vars (or whatever
parent_obj points at for CONFIG_GOOGLE_SMI).

A nice side effect of this change is that efivarfs is now usable with
CONFIG_GOOGLE_SMI, because it no longer accesses '__efivars' directly.

v2: Add efivar_entry_set_safe() which performs QueryVariableInfo() and
    SetVariable() atomically under __efivars->lock, and is required
    for the pstore code.
