[PATCH 1/7] efibc: Report more information in the error messages

Show all headers | View raw

From: "Compostella, Jeremy" <jeremy.compostella@intel.com>

Report the name of the EFI variable if the value size is too large or
if efibc_set_variable() fails to allocate the struct efivar_entry
object.  If efibc_set_variable() fails because the value size is too
large, it also reports the value size in the error message.
