[PATCH] Fix race in efi variable delete code

2007-01-26T21:51:01+00:00

Fix race when deleting an EFI variable and issuing another EFI command on
the same variable.  The removal of the variable from the efivars_list
should be done in efivar_delete and not delayed until the kobject release.

Furthermore, remove the item from the list at module unload time, and use
list_for_each_entry_safe() rather than list_for_each_safe() for
readability.

Tested on ia64.

[PATCH] EFI: keep physical table addresses in efi structure

2006-03-26T16:56:54+00:00

Almost all users of the table addresses from the EFI system table want
physical addresses.  So rather than doing the pa->va->pa conversion, just keep
physical addresses in struct efi.

This fixes a DMI bug: the efi structure contained the physical SMBIOS address
on x86 but the virtual address on ia64, so dmi_scan_machine() used ioremap()
on a virtual address on ia64.

This is essentially the same as an earlier patch by Matt Tolentino:
	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112130292316281&w=2
except that this changes all table addresses, not just ACPI addresses.

Matt's original patch was backed out because it caused MCAs on HP sx1000
systems.  That problem is resolved by the ioremap() attribute checking added
for ia64.

whitespace cleanup - moves two statements on same line to separate lines.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
