[PATCH v5 1/5] vvfat: Fix bug in writing to middle of file
Posted by Amjad Alsharafi 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Before this commit, the behavior when calling `commit_one_file` for
example with `offset=0x2000` (second cluster), what will happen is that
we won't fetch the next cluster from the fat, and instead use the first
cluster for the read operation.

This is due to off-by-one error here, where `i=0x2000 !< offset=0x2000`,
thus not fetching the next cluster.

This smells like a -stable material, despite the fact vvfat is generally
unreliable.  I'm picking this up for 7.2.x and 9.0.x.

Thanks,
