Commit 08cf4a8181 ("exfat: use exfat_chain_advance helper") made the
directory code walk the clusters of a directory with
exfat_chain_advance().
However, exfat_chain_advance() returns -EIO once it has walked as many
clusters as the size of the directory says. The FAT chain of a directory
can be longer than that, because some cameras stop updating the size,
see commit 1e5654de0f ("exfat: handle wrong stream entry size in
exfat_readdir()"). As of now, opening such a directory fails with EIO as
soon as the chain is two clusters longer than the size. Reading a
directory that has a FAT chain after a seek past its end fails with EIO
too.
The issue can be reproduced with an image in which the size of a
directory with 200 files and 7 clusters is lowered to 2 clusters:
mount -o loop exfat.img /mnt
ls /mnt/d | wc -l
Before commit 08cf4a8181 ("exfat: use exfat_chain_advance helper"),
the result is:
200
After that commit, ls fails with "Input/output error" and the result is:
0
This patch will make exfat_chain_advance() follow the FAT to its end
when the directory has a FAT chain, as the code did before, and keep the
size check for a directory without one.
