Hi,
General optimization of fs/inode.c code. Changed the role of variable
"first_inode", changed the direction of walking through the inode list
depending in the intended operation, prefer the use of pointers over
array indexing, use do {}while() loops when possible (which bcc
"prefers"). The changes reduce both code size and processing time and
were tested copying a lot of files running elks under qemu, checking
the integrity of the copied files and running fsck for the modified
filesystem under linux.
2. A small optimization in file fs/minix/file.c, function minix_file_read().
3. Code size reduced by 192 bytes.
The Image builded without errors. The kernel was tested with QEMU and
dioscuri emulators. Also in a PPro pc booting from floppy.
Greetings,
Juan
