[PATCH] efi/x86: fix boot regression on systems with invalid memmap entries

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Sat Feb 01 2020 - 18:33:26 EST


In efi_clean_memmap(), we do a pass over the EFI memory map to remove
bogus entries that may be returned on certain systems.

Commit 1db91035d01aa8bf ("efi: Add tracking for dynamically allocated
memmaps") refactored this code to pass the input to efi_memmap_install()
via a temporary struct on the stack, which is populated using an
initializer which inadvertently defines the value of its size field
in terms of its desc_size field, which value cannot be relied upon yet
in the initializer itself.

Fix this by using efi.memmap.desc_size instead, which is where we get
the value for desc_size from in the first place.
