Subject: [PATCH] groups: Use bsearch instead of hand rolled implementation
Date: Sun, 25 May 2025 17:17:46 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ab5708c1e35e1b2a54a1d83fafda1b3f8fa01103.1748218528.git.collin.funk1@gmail.com> (raw)
This code predates <linux/bsearch.h>. Now that the bsearch function
exists there we can use it to reduce code duplication.
