Subject: [PATCH] efivars: prevent oops on unload when efi is not enabled
Date: Fri, 6 May 2011 12:57:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110506125702.2585228b.randy.dunlap@oracle.com> (raw)

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

unregister_efivars() should check for efi_enabled and not undo
allocations when efi is not enabled.  Otherwise there is an Oops
during module unload:

Matt apparently removed such a check in 2004 (with no reason given):
 *  17 May 2004 - Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
 *   remove check for efi_enabled in exit
but there have been several changes since then.
