From: Michael Schaller <misch@xxxxxxxxxx> 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/.

One of our installers needs to sort the BootOrder to keep BootCurrent at the front, but this fails when the variable BootCurrent points at appears to not exist due to this issue.
