When possible, infer DOS 2.x BIOS Parameter Block from block device
geometry (for floppies and floppy images). Update in-memory only. We
only perform this update when the entire BPB region is zeroed, like
produced by DOS 1.x-era FORMAT (and other OEM variations on DOS).
Fixes kernel.org bug #42617.
BPB default values are inferred from media size and a table.[0] Media
size is assumed to be static for archaic FAT volumes. See also [1].

Diff is from Linus' v3.14-rc8.
I am a kernel newbie, apologies in advance for newbie mistakes. Let me know
what is wrong and I will fix it and learn.
Thanks!

Hm, this looks like check the volume size. But if there is newer fat
format on same volume size, how to detect it? Or, it is conflicting?
[BTW, we should avoid to mount if it doesn't seem fatfs, to prevent
mis-mount as fatfs (auto mount is depending on this detection).]
Thanks.

Newer fat volumes will have some non-zero values in the BPB
-- see the early return at the top of the update function. So
this code will ignore them.

Hmm, good point. The checks for zero values in 0x0b through
~0x19 (BPB 2 with some of the BPB 3 fields) should help
prevent conflicts, to some degree. We can also check the
3-byte field "ignored" in struct fat_boot_sector -- it is
commonly "eb xx 90" (x86: JMP [rel8] ; NOP) but can also be
"e9 xx xx xx xx" (x86: JMP [rel32]).
These old floppies were only ever created on 16-bit machines,
so I think we can conditionalize on "eb xx 90". I will fix and
resend.
The first three bytes are on all the images from 1985 I have
are: eb 1c 90.
Here's the full boot sector. Perhaps we can also
conditionalize on the "Not system boot floppy" string?
Probably not, we want to support mounting boot floppies as
well.
0000000: eb1c 9000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................
0000010: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 fa33 ...............3

0000080: d1fa 2bda 5351 cb00 0000 0000 0000 0000 ..+.SQ..........
The rest (0x090-0x1ff) is zeroes.
And here's the disassembly of the address signified by "JMP
+0x1c" (0x1e):
0x0000001e fa cli
0x0000001f 33c0 xor %ax,%ax
0x00000021 8ed0 mov %ax,%ss
0x00000023 bc0006 mov $0x600,%sp
0x00000026 fb sti
0x00000027 0e push %cs
0x00000028 e84600 call func_00000071
Not sure how common that is among FAT images; mkfs.fat does not
appear to generate valid code, other than eb 3c 90 at the
beginning of the sector.
Thanks,
Conrad
