[PATCH v2 0/7] exfat: fix valid_size update races

[Chi Zhiling]

From: Chi Zhiling <chizhiling@xxxxxxxxxx>

exFAT uses valid_size (ValidDataLength) as the on-disk boundary of
initialised data, but the current code advances it too late or without
proper serialisation.  As a result, buffered writes can silently lose
data reclaimed before valid_size covers it, page faults and direct I/O
can race with writes, and a failed direct write still grows the file
on disk.

This series advances valid_size under the folio lock for buffered
writes, revalidates cached iomaps, drops i_rwsem from
exfat_page_mkwrite(), and publishes i_size/valid_size only on
successful direct I/O completion.
