+Subject: efivarfs: Replace invalid slashes with exclamation marks in dentries.
+
+From: Michael Schaller <misch@google.com>
+
+commit 336af6a4686d885a067ecea8c3c3dd129ba4fc75 upstream.
+
+Without this patch efivarfs_alloc_dentry creates dentries with slashes in
+their name if the respective EFI variable has slashes in its name. This in
+turn causes EIO on getdents64, which prevents a complete directory listing
+of /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/.
+
+This patch replaces the invalid shlashes with exclamation marks like
+kobject_set_name_vargs does for /sys/firmware/efi/vars/ to have consistently
+named dentries under /sys/firmware/efi/vars/ and /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/.
