Subject: [PATCH 5.10 1/2] efi: vars: Use locking version to iterate over efivars linked lists
Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2025 18:21:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250321182126.1716111-1-sdl@nppct.ru> (raw)

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>

commit 3a75f9f2f9ad19bb9a0f566373ae91d8f09db85e upstream.

Both efivars and efivarfs uses __efivar_entry_iter() to go over the
linked list that shadows the list of EFI variables held by the firmware,
but fail to call the begin/end helpers that are documented as a
prerequisite.

So switch to the proper version, which is efivar_entry_iter(). Given
that in both cases, efivar_entry_remove() is invoked with the lock held
already, don't take the lock there anymore.
