Subject[PATCH v2] fs: ntfs: Disable NTFS_RW for PPC
Date
NTFS_RW code allocates page size dependent arrays on the stack. This
results in build failures if the page size is 64k, which is now the
default for PPC.

fs/ntfs/aops.c: In function 'ntfs_write_mst_block':
fs/ntfs/aops.c:1311:1: error:
the frame size of 2240 bytes is larger than 2048 bytes

Increasing the maximum frame size for PPC just to silence this error does
not really help. It would have to be set to a really large value for 256k
pages. Such a large frame size could potentially result in stack overruns
in this code and elsewhere and is therefore not desirable. Disable NTFS_RW
for PPC instead.

This enables the partial, but safe, write support in the NTFS driver.
