Please consider pulling. The following changes since commit f697036b93aa7345d4cbb3c854a76456c0ddac45: efi: Check EFI revision in setup_efi_vars (2013-04-24 16:19:01 +0100) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mfleming/efi.git tags/efi-urgent for you to fetch changes up to 45432323ef7038a91599959173700fdb8a0adb2f: efivars: only check for duplicates on the registered list (2013-04-26 16:50:01 +0100) ---------------------------------------------------------------- * Last minute bugfix for the efivars code. The google EFI SMI driver maintains its own list of EFI variables but the efivars core was directly accessing a different (and in this case, uninitialised) list resulting in a crash. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Matt Fleming (1): efivars: only check for duplicates on the registered list drivers/firmware/efivars.c | 12 +++++++----- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) -- Matt Fleming, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- 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/
