init/do_mounts.c: add create_dev() failure log

2015-06-26T00:00:42Z

If create_dev() function fails to create the root mount device (/dev/root), then it goes to panic as root device not found but there is no printk in this case. So I have added the log in case it fails to create the root device. It will help in debugging.

init: fix regression by supporting devices with major:minor:offset format

2015-05-05T16:31:37Z

Commit 283e7ad02 ("init: stricter checking of major:minor root= values") was so strict that it exposed the fact that a previously unknown device format was being used. Distributions like Ubuntu uses klibc (rather than uswsusp) to resume system from hibernation. klibc expressed the swap partition/file in the form of major:minor:offset. For example, 8:3:0 represents a swap partition in klibc, and klibc's resume process in initrd will finally echo 8:3:0 to /sys/power/resume for manually resuming. However, due to commit 283e7ad02's stricter checking, 8:3:0 will be treated as an invalid device format, and manual resuming from hibernation will fail. Fix this by adding support for devices with major:minor:offset format when resuming from hibernation. Reported-by: Prigent, Christophe Signed-off-by: Chen Yu Acked-by: Rafael J.

init: stricter checking of major:minor root= values

2015-04-15T16:10:19Z

In the kernel command-line, previously, root=1:2jakshflaksjdhfa would be accepted and interpreted just like root=1:2. This patch adds stricter checking so that additional characters after major:minor are rejected by root=. The goal of this change is to help in unifying DM's interpretation of its block device argument by using existing kernel code (name_to_dev_t). But DM rejects malformed major:minor pairs, it seems reasonable for root= to reject them as well. Signed-off-by: Dan Ehrenberg Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

init: export name_to_dev_t and mark name argument as const

2015-04-15T16:10:18Z

DM will switch its device lookup code to using name_to_dev_t() so it must be exported. Also, the @name argument should be marked const. Signed-off-by: Dan Ehrenberg Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

init: fix read-write root mount

2014-12-17T13:27:14Z

If mount flags don't have MS_RDONLY, iso9660 returns EACCES without actually checking if it's an iso image. This tricks mount_block_root() into retrying with MS_RDONLY. This results in a read-only root despite the "rw" boot parameter if the actual filesystem was checked after iso9660. I believe the behavior of iso9660 is okay, while that of mount_block_root() is not. It should rather try all types without MS_RDONLY and only then retry with MS_RDONLY. This change also makes the code more robust against the case when EACCES is returned despite MS_RDONLY, which would've resulted in a lockup. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi Signed-off-by: Al Viro

initmpfs: use initramfs if rootfstype= or root= specified

2013-09-11T22:59:38Z

Command line option rootfstype=ramfs to obtain old initramfs behavior, and use ramfs instead of tmpfs for stub when root= defined (for cosmetic reasons).

initmpfs: make rootfs use tmpfs when CONFIG_TMPFS enabled

2013-09-11T22:59:37Z

Conditionally call the appropriate fs_init function and fill_super functions. Add a use once guard to shmem_init() to simply succeed on a second call. (Note that IS_ENABLED() is a compile time constant so dead code elimination removes unused function calls when CONFIG_TMPFS is disabled.)
