[PATCH v2] efi: fix panic in kdump kernel

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

 



Check if get_next_variable() is actually valid pointer before
calling it. In kdump kernel this method is set to NULL that causes
panic during the kexec-ed kernel boot.

Tested with QEMU and OVMF firmware.
