The current fns() repeatedly uses __ffs() to find the index of the least significant bit and then clears the corresponding bit using __clear_bit(). The method for clearing the least significant bit can be optimized by using word &= word - 1 instead. Typically, the execution time of one __ffs() plus one __clear_bit() is longer than that of a bitwise AND operation and a subtraction. To improve performance, the loop for clearing the least significant bit has been replaced with word &= word - 1, followed by a single __ffs() operation to obtain the answer. This change reduces the number of __ffs() iterations from n to just one, enhancing overall performance. This modification significantly accelerates the fns() function in the test_bitops benchmark, improving its speed by approximately 7.6 times. Additionally, it enhances the performance of find_nth_bit() in the find_bit benchmark by approximately 26%.
