Hello Hirofumi, I would like to export this symbol from the vfat code and add this patch to the Linux kernel. You are listed as the MAINTAINER for FAT and VFAT. As such, I need your approval to do it. The reason that I need to export this symbol is to allow for file based DMA in which the file needs to be pre-allocated. The pre-allocated block addresses are passed to a DMA engine which then directly transfers the data to non-volatile storage. Please let me know if you have any objections to exporting this symbol or if you need additional information from me concerning this change request. I am happy to answer any questions that you may have about this in the meantime. Thanks, David Cross
