From feff5dc4f98330d8152b521acc2e18c16712e6c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Fleming Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2013 12:46:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] efivarfs: return accurate error code in efivarfs_fill_super() Joseph was hitting a failure case when mounting efivarfs which resulted in an incorrect error message, $ sudo mount -v /sys/firmware/efi/efivars mount: Cannot allocate memory triggered when efivarfs_valid_name() returned -EINVAL. Make sure we pass accurate return values up the stack if efivarfs_fill_super() fails to build inodes for EFI variables.
