[PATCH v5] fs: FAT: Add support for DOS 1.x formatted volumes

From: Conrad Meyer
Date: Sun Apr 13 2014 - 10:10:39 EST


Add dos1xfloppy mount option to infer DOS 2.x BIOS Parameter Block
defaults from block device geometry for ancient floppies and floppy
images, as a fall-back from the default BPB parsing logic.

Validate that the entire BPB is zero like we expect, and that the floppy
has a DOS-style 8086 code bootstrapping header.

Fixes kernel.org bug #42617.

Values are inferred from media size and a table.[0] Media size is
assumed to be static for archaic FAT volumes. See also [1].

Changes since v4:
* Read FAT FS block device size with i_size_read()
* In silent (probing) mode, don't message
* Use dos1xfloppy as a gate to allow trying static BPB values (don't require
floppy to be archaic with this option)
* Split out BPB-parsing functionality of fat_fill_super() into two helpers,
fat_read_bpb() and fat_read_static_bpb()

Thanks for your patience. I apologize for it taking so many revisions to get it
right :).
