ocfs2: Don't hand-code xor in ocfs2_hamming_encode().
When I wrote ocfs2_hamming_encode(), I was following documentation of the algorithm and didn't have quite the (possibly still imperfect) grasp of it I do now. As part of this, I literally hand-coded xor. I would test a bit, and then add that bit via xor to the parity word. I can, of course, just do a single xor of the parity word and the source word (the code buffer bit offset). This cuts CPU usage by 53% on a mostly populated buffer (an inode containing utmp.h inline). Joel Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>
