commit 204e6ceaa1035cb7b92b156517e88842ebb4c7ff upstream.
In order for a file to access its own directory entry set,
exfat_inode_info(ei) has two copied values. One is ei->dir, which is
a snapshot of exfat_chain of the parent directory, and the other is
ei->entry, which is the offset of the start of the directory entry set
in the parent directory.
Since the parent directory can be updated after the snapshot point,
it should be used only for accessing one's own directory entry set.
However, as of now, during renaming, it could try to traverse or to
allocate clusters via snapshot values, it does not make sense.
This potential problem has been revealed when exfat_update_parent_info()
was removed by commit d8dad2588add ("exfat: fix referencing wrong parent
directory information after renaming"). However, I don't think it's good
idea to bring exfat_update_parent_info() back.
Instead, let's use the updated exfat_chain of parent directory diectly.

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.
