Hi,
This patch removes the fat_search_long() in the vfat_add_entry(). This
path is already checked by the vfs layer whether file/directory
exists. So, we don't need the fat_search_long() in vfat_add_entry().
The following is the result of created the 1000 files,
2.5.39
root@devron (a)[1007]# time ../../create
real 0m2.761s
user 0m0.006s
sys 0m2.752s
root@devron (a)[1008]#
2.5.39 + patch
root@devron (a)[1007]# time ../../create
real 0m1.601s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m1.575s
root@devron (a)[1008]#
Please apply.
