The patch titled Subject: fat: eliminate iterations in fat_search_long and __fat_readdir in case of EOD has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fat-eliminate-iterations-in-fat_search_long-and-__fat_readdir-in-case-of-eod.patch This patch was dropped because it was withdrawn ------------------------------------------------------ From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fat: eliminate iterations in fat_search_long and __fat_readdir in case of EOD When doing lookups via fat_search_long(), we can stop checking for further entries if we detect End of Directory, i.e. if (de->name[0] == 0x00).The current code traverses the cluster chain of a directory until a hit is found or till the last cluster for that directory, ignoring the EOD mark. Fix this. Likewise,when readdir(3) is called, we can stop checking for further entries in __fat_readdir() when we hit EOD.
