Subject: Re: [PATCH] kernel: Add Mount Option For Efivarfs

Hello Jiao Zhou,

This is the second revision of your patch. Please include this fact in
the subject header, i.e., [PATCH v2] so it is clearly visible.

What does this line mean? Please drop it if it has internal relevance only.

Please drop these lines - the robot found an issue caused by a
proposed patch, and the newest revision should no longer trigger that
issue. So these reports have no long term value, and don't deserve a
mention in the commit log. I understand that the instructions in those
reports are inconsistent with this, but those reports should generally
be taken with a grain of salt in any case.

You also failed to include Matthew Garrett's ack.

Here (below the ---) is where we generally expect an informal revision
history of the patch.

So something like

v2:
- add missing sentinel entry in fs_parameter_spec[] array
- whatever else you did to fix the issue reported by the robot.

For subsequent revisions, please append (or prepend) to the existing
changelog so the entire revision history is documented.

Please fix all of those issues in a v3. Some more below.

Please use sizeof(*sfi) here - this avoids future problems if sfi ever
changes type.

Could this affect existing users of efivarfs? IIIUC, this will result
in efivarfs being mounted with the uid/gid of the caller instead of
root/root, right? So if existing scripts use some other user with the
right capabilities to mount efivarfs, the uid/gid will change.

Is this part of the change important to your use case?

Please either drop the indentation, or re-indent the whole block.
