[PATCH 2/3] fs/ntfs3: Make binary search to search smaller chunks in beginning

From: Kari Argillander
Date: Thu Sep 02 2021 - 11:41:15 EST


We could try to optimize algorithm to first fill just small table and
after that use bigger table all the way up to ARRAY_SIZE(offs). This
way we can use bigger search array, but not lose benefits with entry
count smaller < ARRAY_SIZE(offs).
