exFAT Fixes Significant Random Write Performance Regression With Linux 6.17
Following yesterday's F2FS pull request, the exFAT file-system updates were sent out and since merged for the ongoing Linux 6.17 kernel merge window.
First up, is a patch for proper handling of the "fdatasync" flag to fix a performance regression previously introduced for this exFAT file-system driver in the Linux kernel. The other patch is for addressing an infinite loop situation that may occur due to file-system corruption on exFAT. Both fixes are now merged for Linux 6.17 and will likely be back-ported too for prior kernel stable series.
