3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Seiji Aguchi <seiji.aguchi@xxxxxxx> commit d80a361d779a9f19498943d1ca84243209cd5647 upstream. [Issue] As discussed in a thread below, Running out of space in EFI isn't a well-tested scenario. And we wouldn't expect all firmware to handle it gracefully. http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=134305325801789&w=2 On the other hand, current efi_pstore doesn't check a remaining space of storage at writing time. Therefore, efi_pstore may not work if it tries to write a large amount of data. [Patch Description] To avoid handling the situation above, this patch checks if there is a space enough to log with QueryVariableInfo() before writing data.
