Unless you're overwriting task_struct::stack (which seems scary to me), that
doesn't look right; on_task_stack() checks whether a given base + size is on
the stack allocated for the task (i.e. task_struct::stack + THREAD_SIZE), not
the stack the task is currently using.

I would expect this to be something like:

#define current_in_efi()						\
	(!preemptible() && spin_is_locked(&efi_rt_lock) &&		\
	 stackinfo_on_stack(stackinfo_get_efi(), current_stack_pointer, 1))

... or an inline function given this is sufficiently painful as a macro.

... unless I've confused myself?

FWIW, the patch belows looks good to me!
