Subject: [PATCH 04/14] efi: Add nonblocking option to efi_query_variable_store()
Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 22:06:58 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454364428-494-5-git-send-email-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1454364428-494-1-git-send-email-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk>
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
The function efi_query_variable_store() may be invoked by
efivar_entry_set_nonblocking(), which itself takes care to only call
a non-blocking version of the SetVariable() runtime wrapper. However,
efi_query_variable_store() may call the SetVariable() wrapper directly,
as well as the wrapper for QueryVariableInfo(), both of which could
deadlock in the same way we are trying to prevent by calling
efivar_entry_set_nonblocking() in the first place.
So instead, modify efi_query_variable_store() to use the non-blocking
variants of QueryVariableInfo() (and give up rather than free up space
if the available space is below EFI_MIN_RESERVE) if invoked with the
'nonblocking' argument set to true.
