From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com> Git-commit: feff5dc4f98330d8152b521acc2e18c16712e6c8 Patch-mainline: v3.9-rc2 References: bnc#808680 Target: openSUSE 12.3 Joseph was hitting a failure case when mounting efivarfs which resulted in an incorrect error message, $ sudo mount -v /sys/firmware/efi/efivars mount: Cannot allocate memory triggered when efivarfs_valid_name() returned -EINVAL. Make sure we pass accurate return values up the stack if efivarfs_fill_super() fails to build inodes for EFI variables.
