efi: make most efivarfs files immutable by default

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

 



Hi,
Here's the latest version of my patch series to make efivarfs make files
be immutable by default unless they're on our whitelist.  As you might
expect, this version has a couple of differences from the previous one:

In patch 2/5:
- efivar_create_sysfs_entry() was reworked to use the length it computes
  instead of lots of calls to strlen(), and it doesn't have unused
  variables any more.
In 3/5:
- "len" was renamed to "data_size" for clarity, and we calculate the
  variable name's size correctly instead now.
In 4/5:
- The commit message was reworded based largely on mfleming's suggestions.
In 5/5:
- An old comment from a previous version was fixed to not be confusing.
- the inode lock is now taken when we're modifying inode metadata.

Thanks,
Peter
