Subject: [PATCH V3 1/3] x86/efi: Call efi_delete_dummy_variable() after creating efi_rts_wq
Date:   Mon, 21 May 2018 20:13:02 -0700
Message-Id: <1526958784-14688-2-git-send-email-sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com>
In-Reply-To: <1526958784-14688-1-git-send-email-sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com>
References: <1526958784-14688-1-git-send-email-sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

From: Sai Praneeth <sai.praneeth.prakhya@intel.com>

Create a workqueue named efi_rts_wq (efi runtime services workqueue), so
that all efi_runtime_services() are executed in kthread context.

Invoking efi_runtime_services() through efi_rts_wq means all accesses to
efi_runtime_services() should be done after efi_rts_wq has been created.
efi_delete_dummy_variable() calls set_variable(), hence
efi_delete_dummy_variable() should be called after efi_rts_wq has been
created.
