Since seekdir() does not check whether the position is valid, the position may exceed the size of the directory. We found that for a directory with discontinuous clusters, if the position exceeds the size of the directory and the excess size is greater than or equal to the cluster size, exfat_readdir() will return -EIO, causing a file system error and making the file system unavailable. Reproduce this bug by: seekdir(dir, dir_size + cluster_size); dirent = readdir(dir); The following log will be printed if mount with 'errors=remount-ro'.
