The out_efi_err: > portions are exactly the same: By "the previous version of this patch" I was referring to your submission of Nov 16, not the existing code in the kernel. Your patch didn't contain the out_efi_err portion. You're assigning a negative value to boot_params->secure_boot (which is declared __u8). In the next patch you're just checking if the value isn't 0 and you're considerung secure boot to be enabled even though GetVariable failed. Hence my question above, is this what you want? Likely not, perhaps this is what you really want: boot_params->secure_boot = (efi_get_secureboot() == 1); Best regards, Lukas -- 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
