[PATCH] efivarfs: allow unloading when build as module

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

 



There is no need to keep the module loaded when it serves no function in
case the EFI runtime services are disabled. Return an error in this case
so loading the module will fail.

Also supply a module_exit function to allow unloading the module.

Last, but not least, set the owner of the file_system_type struct.
