Subject: [PATCH v2 4/9] exfat: add support for multi-cluster allocation
Date: Thu,  7 May 2026 21:42:33 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507124238.7313-5-linkinjeon@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260507124238.7313-1-linkinjeon@kernel.org>

Currently exfat_map_cluster() allocates and returns only one cluster
at a time even when more clusters are needed. This causes multiple
FAT walks and repeated allocation calls during large sequential writes
or when using iomap for writes. This change exfat_map_cluster() and
exfat_alloc_cluster() to be able to allocate multiple contiguous
clusters.
