[PATCH] exfat: redefine DIR_DELETED as the bad cluster number
Posted by Sungjong Seo 2 years, 8 months ago
When a file or a directory is deleted, the hint for the cluster of
its parent directory in its in-memory inode is set as DIR_DELETED.
Therefore, DIR_DELETED must be one of invalid cluster numbers. According
to the exFAT specification, a volume can have at most 2^32-11 clusters.
However, DIR_DELETED is wrongly defined as 0xFFFF0321, which could be
a valid cluster number. To fix it, let's redefine DIR_DELETED as
0xFFFFFFF7, the bad cluster number.

Fixes: 1acf1a564b60 ("exfat: add in-memory and on-disk structures and headers")
