How about we drop the @atomic parameter and simply use @duplicates to figure out whether to perform duplicate detection, which we should note in the comment of efivar_init() cannot be performed atomically. Bonus points if someone can clean up the code flow too. Otherwise, efivar_init() is done while holding a spinlock. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
