Subject: [PATCH 1/7] efibc: Report more information in the error messages
Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2016 08:20:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1466839230-12781-2-git-send-email-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1466839230-12781-1-git-send-email-matt@codeblueprint.co.uk>
From: "Compostella, Jeremy" <jeremy.compostella@intel.com>
Report the name of the EFI variable if the value size is too large or
if efibc_set_variable() fails to allocate the struct efivar_entry
object. If efibc_set_variable() fails because the value size is too
large, it also reports the value size in the error message.
