That would be great, thank you.

On a Windows 8 logo desktop with 91 variables, the average time (30 runs each) of variable iteration goes from 0.009672 second to 0.010180 second (+0.000508 second, or +5%). Negligible.

status = EFI_NOT_FOUND here doesn't seem to do anything.

It terminates the enclosing do-while loop.

Oops, my brain fart.

By the way, efivar_update_sysfs_entries from Seiji's sysfs workqueue
patch may also get stuck in loop in the same way.

You mean if GetNextVariableName() never terminates? Yeah,
efivar_update_sysfs_entries() looks like it needs protecting from that
too, good catch.

Yes that's what I meant.
