[PATCH v2 11/13] exfat: tweak cluster cache to support zero offset

From: Chi Zhiling
Date: Thu Jan 08 2026 - 04:21:56 EST


From: Chi Zhiling <chizhiling@xxxxxxxxxx>

The current cache mechanism does not support reading clusters starting
from a file offset of zero. This patch enables that feature in
preparation for subsequent reads of contiguous clusters from offset zero.

1. modify exfat_cache_lookup() to find clusters with offset zero.
2. allow clusters with zero offset to be cached.
