Subject: fs: fat: search file should not allocate cluster
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/html/%7B%7B%20.Permalink%20%7D%7D?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1e51c8d64a945946af72099dd469a3320ce02e7c;p=u-boot.git

fs: fat: search file should not allocate cluster

Searching for a file is not a write operation. So it should not lead to the
allocation of a new cluster to the directory.

If we reuse deleted entries, we might not even use the new cluster and due
to not flushing it the directory could be corrupted.
