John Sanpe b1cc7d5aa3 exfat: using ffs instead of internal logic
Replaced the internal table lookup algorithm with ffs of
the bitops library with better performance.

Use it to increase the single processing length of the
exfat_find_free_bitmap function, from single-byte search to long type.

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
