Subject: [PATCH] fat: Fix non-atomic NFS i_pos read

fat_encode_fh() can fetch an invalid i_pos value on systems
where 64-bit accesses are not atomic. Make it use the same
accessor as the rest of the FAT code.

sb seems to be unused. So, we can just

struct msdos_sb_info *sbi = MSDOS_SB(inode->i_sb);

true? Otherwise, ack.

Just curious, this happened on the real system? I recently heard about
NFS issue.

Thanks.

OK, I'll repost with that change.

Not that I'm aware of. Can you point me to any discussion of the NFS
issue? I've spent a lot of time recently studying the FAT NFS
implementation and come to the conclusion that it is extremely
vulnerable to inode eviction. More to follow...

It is true, I also know NFS support of FAT is broken, but I'm not sure
if it was read-only. Sorry, recent report was by private email, not
public.
