[PATCH 0/2] Couple of efivarfs fixes

2020-05-28 Thread Tony Luck 
1) Some apps want to monitor changes in EFI variables, but reading the
   file and comparing is inefficient.  Just have Linnux update the
   modification time when a file is written

2) A rate limited read can return -EINTR ... very suprising to apps.

Tony Luck (2):
  efivarfs: Update inode modification time for successful writes
  efivarfs: Don't return -EINTR when rate-limiting reads
