From 0f7de85a94de553c6cb222b70ac4032d265b362d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Seiji Aguchi Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2012 20:28:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] efi_pstore: Add a format check for an existing variable name at reading time [Issue] a format of variable name has been updated to type, id, count and ctime to support holding multiple logs. Format of current variable name dump-type0-1-2-12345678 type:0 id:1 count:2 ctime:12345678 On the other hand, if an old variable name before being updated remains, users can't read it via /dev/pstore. Format of old variable name dump-type0-1-12345678 type:0 id:1 ctime:12345678 [Solution] This patch add a format check for the old variable name in a read callback to make it readable.
