[PATCH v2] fs/exfat: add NFS export support

From: andrii . polianytsia
Date: Wed Aug 21 2024 - 08:53:21 EST


From: Andrii Polianytsia <andrii.polianytsia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add NFS export support to the exFAT filesystem by implementing
the necessary export operations in fs/exfat/super.c. Enable
exFAT filesystems to be exported and accessed over NFS, enhancing
their utility in networked environments.

Introduce the exfat_export_ops structure, which includes
functions to handle file handles and inode lookups necessary for NFS
operations.

Given the similarities between exFAT and FAT filesystems, and that FAT
supports exporting via NFS, this implementation is based on the existing logic
in the FAT filesystem's NFS export code (fs/fat/nfs.c).
