Re: [PATCH 1/1] fat: improve sync performance by grouping writes in fat_mirror_bhs [really unmangled]

["Holden Karau" <holden@pigscanfly.ca>]

Hi Jörn,

Thanks for your time, I'll make those changes [along with a few other
things I noticed while benchmarking it]. Before I put together a
patch, does anyone else see any obvious stuff I should clean up?

Cheers,

Holden :-)

For some reason it compiles without warnings for me, but I'll switch the order.

Sorry about that. A lot of the places where I used braces are because
I had some debugging output in there while I was hacking on it. I'll
change it.
