Subject: [PATCH master] efi: loader: disk: don't install a file system on raw disks
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 15:30:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103143059.853339-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
From: Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@barebox.org>
efi_fs_exists() matches the detected type of a cdev against the type of
every registered file system driver. Drivers not backed by a cdev, like
ramfs, devfs or tftp, leave their type at filetype_unknown, so every
disk with unrecognized content matches one of them.
Let's skip filetype_unknown like fs_detect() does, so raw disks only
export Block I/O.
Fixes: 3146c70b0f8b ("efi: loader: protocol: add Block IO support")
