Subject: [PATCH 22/26] fs: fat: support larger block device sectors
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 10:42:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626084608.1388806-23-a.fatoum@barebox.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260626084608.1388806-1-a.fatoum@barebox.org>
The FAT filesystem implementation already has variable sector size support,
but we kept _MAX_SS fixed at the minimum of 512 bytes, which disabled it.
Further, the glue between the filesystem and the cdev layer still hardcoded
512-byte.
Set _MAX_SS as 4096 and fix the glue to be able to use the underlying
block device's block size.
PBL is kept at the existing fixed 512-byte sector size.
