[PATCH 8/9] efi/x86: Fix the deletion of variables in mixed mode

From: Ard Biesheuvel
Date: Thu Apr 09 2020 - 09:05:25 EST


From: Gary Lin <glin@xxxxxxxx>

efi_thunk_set_variable() treated the NULL "data" pointer as an invalid
parameter, and this broke the deletion of variables in mixed mode.
This commit fixes the check of data so that the userspace program can
delete a variable in mixed mode.

Fixes: 8319e9d5ad98ffcc ("efi/x86: Handle by-ref arguments covering multiple pages in mixed mode")
