Hyeongseok Kim 898b0ec688 exfat: improve performance of exfat_free_cluster when using dirsync mount option
There are stressful update of cluster allocation bitmap when using
dirsync mount option which is doing sync buffer on every cluster bit
clearing. This could result in performance degradation when deleting
big size file.
Fix to update only when the bitmap buffer index is changed would make
less disk access, improving performance especially for truncate operation.

Testing with Samsung 256GB sdcard, mounted with dirsync option
(mount -t exfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /temp/mount -o dirsync)

Remove 4GB file, blktrace result.

exFAT filesystem

This is the exfat filesystem for support from the linux 4.1 kernel to the latest kernel.

Installing as a stand-alone module

Install prerequisite package for Fedora, RHEL:

	yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)

Build step:

	make
	sudo make install

To load the driver manually, run this as root:

	modprobe exfat

Installing as a part of the kernel

  1. Let's take [linux] as the path to your kernel source dir.
	cd [linux]
	cp -ar exfat [linux]/fs/
  1. edit [linux]/fs/Kconfig
	source "fs/fat/Kconfig"
	+source "fs/exfat/Kconfig"
	source "fs/ntfs/Kconfig"
  1. edit [linux]/fs/Makefile
	obj-$(CONFIG_FAT_FS)          += fat/
	+obj-$(CONFIG_EXFAT_FS)       += exfat/
	obj-$(CONFIG_BFS_FS)          += bfs/
  1. make menuconfig and set exfat
