When writing EFI variables, one might get errors with no other message
on why it fails. Being able to see how much is used by EFI variables
helps analyzing such issues.
Since this is not a conventional filesystem, block size is intentionally
set to 1 instead of PAGE_SIZE.
x86 quirks of reserved size are taken into account; so that available
and free size can be different, further helping debugging space issues.
With this patch, one can see the remaining space in EFI variable storage
via efivarfs, like this:
$ df -h /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
efivarfs 176K 106K 66K 62% /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
