• 98283bb49   fat: Fix the race of read/write the FAT12 entry ... Browse Code »

  FAT12 entry is 12bits, so it needs 2 phase to update the value. And
  writer and reader access it without any lock, so reader can get the
  half updated value.

  This fixes the long standing race condition by adding a global
  spinlock to only FAT12 for avoiding any impact against FAT16/32.

• 6b9438e13   [PATCH] fat_lock is used as a mutex, convert it to using the new mutex primitive ... Browse Code »

  The fat code uses the fat_lock always in a mutex way (taking and releasing
  the lock in the same function), the patch below converts it into the new
  mutex primitive. Please consider this patch for the code.

  All EXPORT_SYMBOL of fatfs is only for vfat/msdos. _GPL would be proper.

• a6bf6b211   [PATCH] fat: move fat_clusters_flush() to write_super() ... Browse Code »

  It is overkill to update the FS_INFO whenever modifying
  prev_free/free_clusters, because those are just a hint.

  So, this patch uses ->write_super() for updating FS_INFO instead.

  Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
  even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
  archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
  3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
  git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
  infrastructure for it.

  Let it rip!
