The patch titled Subject: fat: add simple validation for directory inode has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fat-add-simple-validation-for-directory-inode.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fat: add simple validation for directory inode This detects simple corruption cases of directory, and tries to avoid further damage to user data. And performance impact of this validation should be very low, or not measurable.
