Subject: [PATCH 6.12.y 5/6] exfat: fix incorrect directory checksum after rename to shorter name
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 21:28:20 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721012821.3459448-5-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260721012821.3459448-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Chi Zhiling <chizhiling@kylinos.cn>
[ Upstream commit ff37797badd831797b8a27830fe5046d7e23fdc3 ]
When renaming a file in-place to a shorter name, exfat_remove_entries
marks excess entries as DELETED, but es->num_entries is not updated
accordingly. As a result, exfat_update_dir_chksum iterates over the
deleted entries and computes an incorrect checksum.
This does not lead to persistent corruption because mark_inode_dirty()
is called afterward, and __exfat_write_inode later recomputes the
checksum using the correct num_entries value.
Fix by setting es->num_entries = num_entries in exfat_init_ext_entry.
