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/. --- fs/efivarfs/super.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/efivarfs/super.c b/fs/efivarfs/super.c index 28bb5689333a..15880a68faad 100644 --- a/fs/efivarfs/super.c +++ b/fs/efivarfs/super.c @@ -141,6 +141,9 @@ static int efivarfs_callback(efi_char16_t *name16, efi_guid_t vendor, name[len + EFI_VARIABLE_GUID_LEN+1] = '\0'; + /* replace invalid slashes like kobject_set_name_vargs does for /sys/firmware/efi/vars. */ + strreplace(name, '/', '!'); + inode = efivarfs_get_inode(sb, d_inode(root), S_IFREG | 0644, 0, is_removable); if (!inode) -- 2.28.0.681.g6f77f65b4e-goog
