      efi: fix userspace infinite retry read efivars after EFI runtime services page fault · e006ac30
      Ding Hui authored
      After [1][2], if we catch exceptions due to EFI runtime service, we will
      clear EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES bit to disable EFI runtime service, then the
      subsequent routine which invoke the EFI runtime service should fail.
      
      But the userspace cat efivars through /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ will stuck
      and infinite loop calling read() due to efivarfs_file_read() return -EINTR.
      
      The -EINTR is converted from EFI_ABORTED by efi_status_to_err(), and is
      an improper return value in this situation, so let virt_efi_xxx() return
      EFI_DEVICE_ERROR and converted to -EIO to invoker.

      efi: fix NULL-deref in init error path · 703c13fe
      Johan Hovold authored
      In cases where runtime services are not supported or have been disabled,
      the runtime services workqueue will never have been allocated.
      
      Do not try to destroy the workqueue unconditionally in the unlikely
      event that EFI initialisation fails to avoid dereferencing a NULL
      pointer.
      
      Fixes: 98086df8 ("efi: add missed destroy_workqueue when efisubsys_init fails")
