exfat: add blank line after declarations

2026-02-12T12:21:51Z

Add a blank line after variable declarations in fatent.c and file.c. This improves readability and makes code style more consistent across the exfat subsystem. Signed-off-by: William Hansen-Baird Signed-off-by: Namjae Jeon

exfat: reduce unnecessary writes during mmap write

2026-02-12T12:21:47Z

During mmap write, exfat_page_mkwrite() currently extends valid_size to the end of the VMA range. For a large mapping, this can push valid_size far beyond the page that actually triggered the fault, resulting in unnecessary writes. valid_size only needs to extend to the end of the page being written.

exfat: add setlease file operation

2026-01-12T09:55:46Z

Add the setlease file_operation to exfat_file_operations and exfat_dir_operations, pointing to generic_setlease. A future patch will change the default behavior to reject lease attempts with -EINVAL when there is no setlease file operation defined. Add generic_setlease to retain the ability to set leases on this filesystem.

exfat: zero out post-EOF page cache on file extension

2025-12-03T01:00:16Z

xfstests generic/363 was failing due to unzeroed post-EOF page cache that allowed mmap writes beyond EOF to become visible after file extension. For example, in following xfs_io sequence, 0x22 should not be written to the file but would become visible after the extension: xfs_io -f -t -c "pwrite -S 0x11 0 8" \ -c "mmap 0 4096" \ -c "mwrite -S 0x22 32 32" \ -c "munmap" \ -c "pwrite -S 0x33 512 32" \ $testfile This violates the expected behavior where writes beyond EOF via mmap should not persist after the file is extended. Instead, the extended region should contain zeros. Fix this by using truncate_pagecache() to truncate the page cache after the current EOF when extending the file.

exfat: fix out-of-bounds in exfat_nls_to_ucs2()

2025-10-15T08:53:20Z

Since the len argument value passed to exfat_ioctl_set_volume_label() from exfat_nls_to_utf16() is passed 1 too large, an out-of-bounds read occurs when dereferencing p_cstring in exfat_nls_to_ucs2() later. And because of the NLS_NAME_OVERLEN macro, another error occurs when creating a file with a period at the end using utf8 and other iocharsets. So to avoid this, you should remove the code that uses NLS_NAME_OVERLEN macro and make the len argument value be the length of the label string, but with a maximum length of FSLABEL_MAX - 1.

exfat: fdatasync flag should be same like generic_write_sync()

2025-07-31T23:34:17Z

Test: androbench by default setting, use 64GB sdcard. the random write speed: without this patch 3.5MB/s with this patch 7MB/s After patch "11a347fb6cef", the random write speed decreased significantly. the .write_iter() interface had been modified, and check the differences with generic_file_write_iter(), when calling generic_write_sync() and exfat_file_write_iter() to call vfs_fsync_range(), the fdatasync flag is wrong, and make not use the fdatasync mode, and make random write speed decreased. So use generic_write_sync() instead of vfs_fsync_range().

Merge tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.mmap_prepare' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

2025-07-28T20:43:25Z

Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner: "Last cycle we introduce f_op->mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback"). This is preferred to the existing f_op->mmap() hook as it does require a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations. This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state. Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been the cause of bugs and complexity in the past. The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op->mmap, and in that vein this series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op->mmap_prepare. Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than directly checking for f_op->mmap (which is now not a valid check) and secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted. Commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow f_op->mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op->mmap() callback. This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed. As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they can nest all other file systems. We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs, syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.

Change the address_space_operations callbacks write_begin() and write_end() to take struct kiocb * as the first argument instead of struct file *. Update all affected function prototypes, implementations, call sites, and related documentation across VFS, filesystems, and block layer.

fs: replace mmap hook with .mmap_prepare for simple mappings

2025-06-19T11:56:59Z

Since commit c84bf6dd2b83 ("mm: introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback"), the f_op->mmap() hook has been deprecated in favour of f_op->mmap_prepare(). This callback is invoked in the mmap() logic far earlier, so error handling can be performed more safely without complicated and bug-prone state unwinding required should an error arise. This hook also avoids passing a pointer to a not-yet-correctly-established VMA avoiding any issues with referencing this data structure. It rather provides a pointer to the new struct vm_area_desc descriptor type which contains all required state and allows easy setting of required parameters without any consideration needing to be paid to locking or reference counts. Note that nested filesystems like overlayfs are compatible with an .mmap_prepare() callback since commit bb666b7c2707 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for nested file systems"). In this patch we apply this change to file systems with relatively simple mmap() hook logic - exfat, ceph, f2fs, bcachefs, zonefs, btrfs, ocfs2, orangefs, nilfs2, romfs, ramfs and aio.
