From 5356c32742bd51c8c57065d2389a2c4bc036adcd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Compostella, Jeremy" Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2016 08:20:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] efibc: Report more information in the error messages 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 'size' value is too large, it also reports this value in the error message.
