Eh...
a) are any of those really signed?
b) can any of those be more than 32 bits?

You've got to be kidding. So you want to keep a list of ints and do it
that way? With separate allocation for every sodding one and a cyclic
list going through the entire bunch?

Besides, 'int' is almost certainly a wrong type. I can buy 'u32', but...

er... that's highly unidiomatic (and fairly common in your code below).
Any reasons for that?

Off-by-twice and that should've been a couple of nested loops.

What's the endianness of that puppy?

No comments. Really. There must be some limits on the language one is
willing to use on public maillist, after all.

Who said there will be NUL anywhere at all?

See above.

WTF do we bother with that copying, anyway?

And you call *that* on every block allocation?

a) there's such thing as local variables. Use them.
b) when you do that, do remember that names may be longer than one character.
c) linux-kernel is not an IOCCC. This & ~ above is a pure obfuscation.

Pardon me, but... what the hell is going on in that code? In particular,
is there any reason for not making it a straightforward for() going through
blocks and equally straightforward inner for() going through each block?
BTW, there seems to be an off-by-factor-of-2 above nicely obfuscated by
all that mess. Namely,
x = sb->s_blocksize;
((u16 *) bh_fat->b_data)[x];
will end up accessing data at offset 2 * blocksize, which is twice the size
of actual block.

And what happens when I open a file, unlink it and try to read?

Overall: code badly needs deobfuscation before anything else can be done
with it.
