[PATCH 0/5] efivarfs: fixes and cleanups

From: Andy Whitcroft
Date: Thu Oct 11 2012 - 06:32:38 EST


We have recently been looking to backport the efivarfs support as posted,
to 3.5.x. Inspired by some searching questions from Tetsuo Handa I have
been reviewing this code. The following a first pass at fixing up some
of the error handling. As they represent error paths they are hard to
truly verify so deserve review.

repo.

Andy Whitcroft (5):
efivarfs: efivarfs_file_read ensure we free data in error paths
efivarfs: efivarfs_create() ensure we drop our reference on inode on error
efivarfs: efivarfs_fill_super() fix inode reference counts
efivarfs: efivarfs_fill_super() ensure we free our temporary name
efivarfs: efivarfs_fill_super() ensure we clean up correctly on error
