[PATCH v2 3/7] exfat: dirty all new pages when extending valid_size
From: Chi Zhiling
Date: Fri Oct 02 2026 - 23:33:05 EST
From: Chi Zhiling <chizhiling@xxxxxxxxxx>
In the current code, exfat_zero_new_range() does not mark non-uptodate
pages as dirty, which may cause some blocks within a page to not be
written back.
This commit no longer checks each block in a non-uptodate page
individually. Instead, it reads the entire page back into the cache and
then writes it back as a whole. This allows concurrent writes and zeroing
operations to be synchronized using the folio lock.
