  exfat: fix reading a directory whose FAT chain is longer than its
size (2026-10-21 08:28:32 +0900)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Use the recalculated append position when advancing valid_size, dirty
  all pages involved in valid-data extension, and zero invalid tails on
  partial overwrites. Write-protect the folio spanning the old EOF and
  zero its post-EOF range when extending a file, ensuring subsequent mmap
  writes advance valid_size.

- Make valid_size and zeroed_size atomic to prevent torn reads and lost
  updates. Hold the invalidate lock during truncation, and drain in-flight
  direct I/O before buffered writes, buffered fallback, and page-cache
  operations that extend valid_size.

- Fall back to single-cluster allocation when a buffered write cannot
  allocate its entire range, allowing writes to consume the remaining
  free space and return a short count.

- Free clusters allocated beyond EOF after failed or short writes to
  prevent leaked space and spurious ENOSPC errors on later writes or
  file extensions.

- Clean block-device buffer aliases when allocating clusters so delayed
  directory metadata writeback cannot overwrite file data after cluster
  reuse.

- Update used_clusters as each cluster is allocated so partial-allocation
  cleanup keeps free-space accounting consistent. Acquire bitmap_lock
  before checking available space to serialize the check with allocation.

- Use swap-specific iomap operations to report allocated extents beyond
  valid_size as unwritten during swap activation, retaining byte-accurate
  SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA reporting in regular I/O.

- Check allocation flags, vendor GUIDs, cluster numbers, data lengths,
  and contiguous extents in Vendor Allocation directory entries. Read
  complete entry sets during lookup so malformed trailing entries cannot
  bypass validation.

- Follow directory FAT chains to their actual end when the recorded size
  is too small, supporting devices that leave directory sizes stale.
  Handle reads after seeking past the directory end.

- Clear the volume dirty flag during remount only when switching to
  read-only without SB_FORCE. Update percent_in_use when changing volume
  flags, reporting unknown usage while the volume is dirty or persistent
  flags prevent marking it clean.

- Replace runtime division by powers of two with bit operations.

- Document supported mount options, and exfatprogs, and add
  the documentation path to MAINTAINERS.
