I need to obtain a uefi variable so I went looking at the API in include/linux/efi.h. I found the following definition:

/*
 * The maximum size of VariableName + Data = 1024
 * Therefore, it's reasonable to save that much
 * space in each part of the structure,
 * and we use a page for reading/writing.
 */

struct efi_variable {
        efi_char16_t  VariableName[1024/sizeof(efi_char16_t)];
        efi_guid_t    VendorGuid;
        unsigned long DataSize;
        __u8          Data[1024];
        efi_status_t  Status;
        __u32         Attributes;
} __attribute__((packed));

But according to the specs the variable I need to obtain is 2k bytes. Should I expect trouble :-p

Regards,
Arend
