The compatibility issue between linux exfat and exfat of some camera company was reported from Florian. In their exfat, if the number of files exceeds any limit, the DataLength in stream entry of the directory is no longer updated. So some files created from camera does not show in linux exfat. because linux exfat doesn't allow that cpos becomes larger than DataLength of stream entry. This patch check DataLength in stream entry only if the type is ALLOC_NO_FAT_CHAIN and add the check ensure that dentry offset does not exceed max dentries size(256 MB) to avoid the circular FAT chain issue.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
