The patch titled FAT: DIO-write fallback to normal buffered has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fat-dio-write-fallback-to-normal-buffered.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: FAT: DIO-write fallback to normal buffered From: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 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.
