fs/msdosfs: add tracking of free root directory entries
This update implements tallying of free directory entries during
create, delete, or rename operations on FAT12 and FAT16 file systems.
Prior to this change, the total number of root directory entries
was reported as number of inodes, but 0 as the number of free
inodes, causing system health monitoring software to warn about
a suspected disk full issue.
The FAT12 and FAT16 file systems provide a limited number of
root directory entries, e.g. 512 on typical hard disk formats.
The valid range of values is 1 to 65535, but the msdosfs code
will effectively round up "odd" values to the next multiple of 16
(e.g. 513 would allow for 528 root directory entries).
This update implements tracking of directory entries during create,
delete, or rename operations, with initial values determined by
scanning the directory when the file system is mounted.
Total and free directory entries are reported in the f_files and
f_ffree elements of struct statfs, despite differences in semantics
of these values:
- There is no limit on the number of files and directories that can
be created on a FAT file system. Only the root directory of FAT12
and FAT16 file systems is limited, any number of files can still be
created in sub-directories, even when 0 free "inodes" are reported.
- A single file can require 1 to 21 directory entries, depending on
the character set, structure, and length of the name. The DOS 8.3
style file name takes up 1 entry, and if the name does not comply
with the syntax of a DOS 8.3 file name, 1 additional entry is used
for each 13 characters of the file name. Since all these entries
have to be contiguous, it is possible that a file or directory with
a long name can not be created, despite a sufficient total number of
free directory entries.
- Renaming a file can require more directory entries than currently
allocated to store its long name, which may prevent an in-place
update of the name if more entries are needed. This may cause a
rename operation to fail if no contiguous range of free entries for
the new name can be found.
- The volume label is stored in a directory entry. An empty FAT file
system with a volume label will therefore show 1 used "inode" in
df.
- The perceentage of free inodes shown in df or monitoring tools does
only represent the state of the root directory of a FAT12 or FAT16
file system. Neither does a reported value of 0% free inodes does
prevent files from being created in sub-directories, nor does a
value of 50% free inodes guarantee that even a single file with
a "long" name can be created in the root directory (if every other
directory entry is occupied and there are no 2 contiguous entries).
The statfs(2) and df(1) man pages have been updated with a notice
regarding the possibly different semantics of values reported as
total and free inodes for non-Unix file systems.

fs/msdosfs: Fix potential panic and size calculations
Some combinations of FAT12 file system parameters could cause a kernel
panic due to an unmapped access if the size of the FAT was larger than
the CPU page size. The reason is that FAT12 uses 3 bytes to store
2 FAT pointers, leading to partial FAT pointers at the end of buffers
of a size that is not a multiple of 3.
With a typical page size of 4 KB, this caused the FAT entry at byte
offsets 4095 and 4096 to cross the page boundary, with only the first
page mapped. This was fixed by adjusting the mapping to always cover
both bytes of each FAT entry.
Testing revealed 2 other inconsistencies that are fixed by this commit:
1) The calculation of the size of the data area did not take into
account the fact that the first two data block numbers are reserved
and that the data area starts with block 2. This could cause a
FAT12 file system created with the maximum supported number of
blocks to be incorrectly identified as FAT16.
2) The root directory does not take up space in the data area of a
FAT12 or FAT16 file system, since it is placed into a reserved
area outside of that data area. This commits makes stat() report
the logical size of the root directory, but with 0 blocks allocated
from the data area.
