[PATCH v2] fat: eliminate iterations in fat_search_long and __fat_readdir in case of EOD

From: Namjae Jeon
Date: Mon Feb 04 2013 - 09:44:07 EST


From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@xxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
