Christian Brauner (Microsoft) 88c55a85d0 exfat: fs: port ->mkdir() to pass mnt_idmap
Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b42 ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.

Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.

Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

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
