These patches fix some bugs found when modifying files in vvfat.
First, there was a bug when writing to the cluster 2 or above of a file, it
will copy the cluster before it instead, so, when writing to cluster=2, the
content of cluster=1 will be copied into disk instead in its place.
Another issue was modifying the clusters of a file and adding new
clusters, this showed 2 issues:
- If the new cluster is not immediately after the last cluster, it will
cause issues when reading from this file in the future.
- Generally, the usage of info.file.offset was incorrect, and the
system would crash on abort() when the file is modified and a new
cluster was added.
Also, added some iotests for vvfat, covering the this fix and also
general behavior such as reading, writing, and creating files on the filesystem.
Including tests for reading/writing the first cluster which
would pass even before this patch.
v4:
Applied some suggestions from Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>:
- Fixed code formatting by following the coding style in `scripts/checkpatch.pl`
- Reduced changes related to `iotests` by setting `vvfat` format as non-generic.
- Added another test to cover the fix done in `PATCH 2/4` and `PATCH 3/4` for
handling reading/writing files with non-continuous clusters.
v3:
Added test for creating new files in vvfat.
v2:
Added iotests for `vvfat` driver along with a simple `fat16` module to run the tests.
