      efi: Pass correct file handle to efi_file_{read,close} · 47514c99
      Matt Fleming 提交于
      We're currently passing the file handle for the root file system to
      efi_file_read() and efi_file_close(), instead of the file handle for the
      file we wish to read/close.
      
      While this has worked up until now, it seems that it has only been by
      pure luck. Olivier explains,
      
       "The issue is the UEFI Fat driver might return the same function for
        'fh->read()' and 'h->read()'. While in our case it does not work with
        a different implementation of EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL. In our
        case, we return a different pointer when reading a directory and
        reading a file."
      
      Fixing this actually clears up the two functions because we can drop one
      of the arguments, and instead only pass a file 'handle' argument.

      efi-pstore: Make efi-pstore return a unique id · fdeadb43
      Madper Xie 提交于
      Pstore fs expects that backends provide a unique id which could avoid
      pstore making entries as duplication or denominating entries the same
      name. So I combine the timestamp, part and count into id.

      efivars, efi-pstore: Hold off deletion of sysfs entry until the scan is completed · e0d59733
      Seiji Aguchi 提交于
      Currently, when mounting pstore file system, a read callback of
      efi_pstore driver runs mutiple times as below.
      
      - In the first read callback, scan efivar_sysfs_list from head and pass
        a kmsg buffer of a entry to an upper pstore layer.
      - In the second read callback, rescan efivar_sysfs_list from the entry
        and pass another kmsg buffer to it.
      - Repeat the scan and pass until the end of efivar_sysfs_list.
      
      In this process, an entry is read across the multiple read function
      calls. To avoid race between the read and erasion, the whole process
      above is protected by a spinlock, holding in open() and releasing in
      close().
      
      At the same time, kmemdup() is called to pass the buffer to pstore
      filesystem during it. And then, it causes a following lockdep warning.
      
      To make the dynamic memory allocation runnable without taking spinlock,
      holding off a deletion of sysfs entry if it happens while scanning it
      via efi_pstore, and deleting it after the scan is completed.
      
      To implement it, this patch introduces two flags, scanning and deleting,
      to efivar_entry.
      
      On the code basis, it seems that all the scanning and deleting logic is
      not needed because __efivars->lock are not dropped when reading from the
      EFI variable store.
      
      But, the scanning and deleting logic is still needed because an
      efi-pstore and a pstore filesystem works as follows.
      
      In case an entry(A) is found, the pointer is saved to psi->data.  And
      efi_pstore_read() passes the entry(A) to a pstore filesystem by
      releasing  __efivars->lock.
      
      And then, the pstore filesystem calls efi_pstore_read() again and the
      same entry(A), which is saved to psi->data, is used for resuming to scan
      a sysfs-list.
      
      So, to protect the entry(A), the logic is needed.
