This patchset is the version 2 of the patch that introduces a new exfat mount option 'keep_last_dots' that does the following: 1. Allows users to resolve paths carrying trailing period '.' characters. 2. Disallows users to create files carrying trailing period '.' characters. Version 1 of the patch: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20210818111123.19818-1-ddiss@xxxxxxx/ Feedback will be appreciated. Thanks, Vasant Vasant Karasulli (2): The "keep_last_dots" mount option will, in a subsequent commit, control whether or not trailing periods '.' are stripped from path components during file lookup or file creation. exfat currently unconditionally strips trailing periods '.' when performing path lookup, but allows them in the filenames during file creation. This is done intentionally, loosely following Windows behaviour and specifications which state: fs/exfat/exfat_fs.h | 3 ++- fs/exfat/namei.c | 50 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- fs/exfat/super.c | 7 +++++++ 3 files changed, 45 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) base-commit: ffb217a13a2eaf6d5bd974fc83036a53ca69f1e2 prerequisite-patch-id: aa89fed0f25e0593bd930cb1925a61318970af3b prerequisite-patch-id: b82d57cf11a808fd91ebce196ad90742f266ae39 prerequisite-patch-id: 8fb922007d8da42e7d8915ad4192c3a881384720 prerequisite-patch-id: 80a740f0cc838892abca091667fa5b407611ea39 prerequisite-patch-id: 70a6044affdfcfba97c7651fb2150fa42cf01805 prerequisite-patch-id: a017bdbdcc66df4dd3a66ba03a37714b8e68d253 prerequisite-patch-id: 52771ab4aa8cbdafed3594d7d9a0c75b8a53f6e4 prerequisite-patch-id: fe388ead9e78b2e67bfb1ddfd5cd60a496c12d1c prerequisite-patch-id: fb7ef4d34a652d20b3c6edefaf72ca6298d1e8f4 prerequisite-patch-id: 4194bee4bb9ee6eaeb6ee1ddd82cb84cdcab8d38 prerequisite-patch-id: e178f0c524a65e855ffb7861f1b9a9b2d56a2428 prerequisite-patch-id: e35925ec691c2fa8c167c19844cb40ef090845aa prerequisite-patch-id: 6f54f7183bb0c519f9f76d8645da5a881ca71458 prerequisite-patch-id: b2d2dc9c206fbfc0c80f1be3d9ab031ba2dfd279 prerequisite-patch-id: 47a6c9093808e07f6ff561d011566a4ee4e7465a prerequisite-patch-id: 70b5f29b3208d4e0b8bd27900618aeaba901d19a prerequisite-patch-id: 56b6ad48cc9999893d34e7378ad1bbad293ca52b prerequisite-patch-id: 3318f5c0bb1dac4c932e892329c52c1a118633b4 prerequisite-patch-id: e6aa617911d8647d1b7764c6916e3a01ffed1371 prerequisite-patch-id: 60f8292acf6a200ce4b8f0080a4e7e6429f0f78f prerequisite-patch-id: e2f2b35b6e7c1aaa6a9b22e563c0f753df5fbe88 prerequisite-patch-id: 70880c12ac3be19b196165cf4a06baf3b6074072 prerequisite-patch-id: 55d302be95eccc06e20360e5b392f72e7249ea76 prerequisite-patch-id: 0fc645d44f0354b6217c3a713d1ac144de7c786f prerequisite-patch-id: ebf526d3226975950e8997ed5f83f9b11d631aa5 prerequisite-patch-id: ddb73fe6ea6d1e72b379f480b47ec60162352eb7 prerequisite-patch-id: 091d1b77db64fcd1832dbe1db820fd4685f5651b prerequisite-patch-id: 30006d3af6ae601664ddee4c468520dc800b27bf prerequisite-patch-id: fcfb1b6ee7b1c7ab5cdd02d71113551c710a21ca prerequisite-patch-id: 8f225e2d574ffabb6ed842e92543fd0aab52fa19 prerequisite-patch-id: cf3c7778997c4ca97ab08b195cfe861c565f504c prerequisite-patch-id: 0757c9df4b98726a778f260c4c8ac12f764a2a66 prerequisite-patch-id: 60d1cbbfad4650cce75ffea3253629e8bd9a512c prerequisite-patch-id: 6657313f73334d9d56215ce286cb0d96674a9c9d prerequisite-patch-id: 352c99d07523c55e000b9df37a938da22bfedb9f prerequisite-patch-id: 27176966d0b2d1b98804f3de159a39fcbff0dc9a prerequisite-patch-id: 6d0311021d93c54e5a306af2d40f43b482a7ee66 prerequisite-patch-id: b5d02eeea8fd63acf76bf7ad5235c20e68858d16 prerequisite-patch-id: f169a13a30c2b09839055a91dd8853c476e8c3f7 prerequisite-patch-id: 14df2ff4090dc2b7518be5a48feec7711628e0d4 prerequisite-patch-id: f4d3503460646e4accd4c54f44f9593816fc62a0 prerequisite-patch-id: 9205bc688a48d7ab778b6bd8454890e1fb7cc039 prerequisite-patch-id: 48513af66ec62d400de1d559f7e75327610b5686 prerequisite-patch-id: 2169938ae51c00399f010f88027bf70b05a1d90f prerequisite-patch-id: 2b9450e957e69b30414bbf0e1cc3caebd334f654 prerequisite-patch-id: 0c7d6e599af288ca298bbc59a08246715982a7ab prerequisite-patch-id: a2c1416d88c502ef5b7d621325e2f6712e56a3f4 prerequisite-patch-id: bb6d17d263aa6dab21e87887c98b535595e25c1f prerequisite-patch-id: f7fa011b9e279104d8c8e2bf09fb5d3ab3f34b67 prerequisite-patch-id: 8358ac66a9d65695fb2bc02637cfddf4695ddeaa prerequisite-patch-id: 665d9352bf8e6ffc4b7c0ff25659468b5262d4e7 prerequisite-patch-id: 307e544949317538681dc124fdf2b33df538d897 prerequisite-patch-id: 31616804feb9f7b6d5e010d5306b0304005d5efe prerequisite-patch-id: f8065fb1765262737c2222ad80d2f3d60454e955 prerequisite-patch-id: d99c3d909e24f1ca3269c1e08034f7936f3a5622 prerequisite-patch-id: 0e1efe816412e68314ec226f80b2ded7d2fb33a0 prerequisite-patch-id: 1cf9b69fe0847e9961756cbd69858aecbdab9d1e -- 2.32.0
