Christoph Hellwig 0e44fbe12d exfat: remove ->writepage
Patch series "start removing writepage instances v2".

The VM doesn't need or want ->writepage for writeback and is fine with
just having ->writepages as long as ->migrate_folio is implemented.

This series removes all ->writepage instances that use
block_write_full_page directly and also have a plain mpage_writepages
based ->writepages.

This patch (of 7):

->writepage is a very inefficient method to write back data, and only used
through write_cache_pages or a a fallback when no ->migrate_folio method
is present.

Set ->migrate_folio to the generic buffer_head based helper, and remove
the ->writepage implementation.

exFAT filesystem

This is the exfat filesystem for support from the linux 4.1 kernel to the latest kernel.

Installing as a stand-alone module

Install prerequisite package for Fedora, RHEL:

	yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)

Build step:

	make
	sudo make install

To load the driver manually, run this as root:

	modprobe exfat

Installing as a part of the kernel

  1. Let's take [linux] as the path to your kernel source dir.
	cd [linux]
	cp -ar exfat [linux]/fs/
  1. edit [linux]/fs/Kconfig
	source "fs/fat/Kconfig"
	+source "fs/exfat/Kconfig"
	source "fs/ntfs/Kconfig"
  1. edit [linux]/fs/Makefile
	obj-$(CONFIG_FAT_FS)          += fat/
	+obj-$(CONFIG_EXFAT_FS)       += exfat/
	obj-$(CONFIG_BFS_FS)          += bfs/
  1. make menuconfig and set exfat
