exFAT filesystem

This is the exfat filesystem for support from the linux 5.15 kernel to the latest kernel. If you want to use exfat from 4.1 ~ 5.15 kernel, Please use #for-kernel-version-from-4.1.0 branch.

Installing as a stand-alone module

Install prerequisite package for Fedora, RHEL:

	yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)

Build step:

	make
	sudo make install

To load the driver manually, run this as root:

	modprobe exfat

Installing as a part of the kernel

1. Let's take [linux] as the path to your kernel source dir.

	cd [linux]
	cp -ar exfat [linux]/fs/

2. edit [linux]/fs/Kconfig

	source "fs/fat/Kconfig"
	+source "fs/exfat/Kconfig"
	source "fs/ntfs/Kconfig"

3. edit [linux]/fs/Makefile

	obj-$(CONFIG_FAT_FS)          += fat/
	+obj-$(CONFIG_EXFAT_FS)       += exfat/
	obj-$(CONFIG_BFS_FS)          += bfs/

4. make menuconfig and set exfat
