My ASUS P8Z68-V PRO motherboard's UEFI cleans up EFI variables space only if it is full when system boots. So with this patch and 32kb of 64kb space used I can't use efibootmgr to create new boot entries until EFI variables space become full and then is cleaned up by UEFI. It can be done only with 10 reboots (every boot uses 3 kilobytes of EFI variables space) or patched efivars module. I think it is a regression. wbr, Sergey. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
