[PATCH] FAT: DIO-write fallback to normal buffered

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



[RESEND: forget to add [email protected]]

If the DIO write on FAT is expanding the size, it will be fail by -EINVAL,
because FAT can't handle it now.

This patch fallback it to the normal buffered-write and would return
success.
