Fix root mounting with no mount options

2019-12-16T16:42:39Z

The "trivial conversion" in commit cccaa5e33525 ("init: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount()") was totally broken, since it didn't handle the case of a NULL mount data pointer. And while I had "tested" it (and presumably Dominik had too) that bug was hidden by me having options.

init: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount()

2019-12-12T13:50:05Z

In prepare_namespace(), do_mount() can be used instead of ksys_mount() as the first and third argument are const strings in the kernel, the second and fourth argument are passed through anyway, and the fifth argument is NULL. In do_mount_root(), ksys_mount() is called with the first and third argument being already kernelspace strings, which do not need to be copied over from userspace to kernelspace (again). The second and fourth arguments are passed through to do_mount() anyway. The fifth argument, while already residing in kernelspace, needs to be put into a page of its own. Then, do_mount() can be used instead of ksys_mount(). Once this is done, there are no in-kernel users to ksys_mount() left, which can therefore be removed. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski

devtmpfs: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount()

2019-12-12T13:49:57Z

In devtmpfs, do_mount() can be called directly instead of complex wrapping by ksys_mount(): - the first and third arguments are const strings in the kernel, and do not need to be copied over from userspace; - the fifth argument is NULL, and therefore no page needs to be copied over from userspace; - the second and fourth argument are passed through anyway.

init: Support mounting root file systems over SMB

2019-10-02T16:15:15Z

Add a new virtual device named /dev/cifs (0xfe) to tell the kernel to mount the root file system over the network by using SMB protocol. cifs_root_data() will be responsible to retrieve the parsed information of the new command-line option (cifsroot=) and then call do_mount_root() with the appropriate mount options for cifs.ko.

vfs: Convert ramfs, shmem, tmpfs, devtmpfs, rootfs to use the new mount API

2019-09-13T01:05:34Z

Convert the ramfs, shmem, tmpfs, devtmpfs and rootfs filesystems to the new internal mount API as the old one will be obsoleted and removed. This allows greater flexibility in communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the filesystem. See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information. Note that tmpfs is slightly tricky as it can contain embedded commas, so it can't be trivially split up using strsep() to break on commas in generic_parse_monolithic(). Instead, tmpfs has to supply its own generic parser. However, if tmpfs changes, then devtmpfs and rootfs, which are wrappers around tmpfs or ramfs, must change too - and thus so must ramfs, so these had to be converted also.

mnt_init(): call shmem_init() unconditionally

2019-07-05T02:01:59Z

No point having two call sites (earlier in init_rootfs() from mnt_init() in case we are going to use shmem-style rootfs, later from do_basic_setup() unconditionally), along with the logics in shmem_init() itself to make the second call a no-op... Signed-off-by: Al Viro

don't bother with registering rootfs

2019-07-05T02:01:59Z

init_mount_tree() can get to rootfs_fs_type directly and that simplifies a lot of things. We don't need to register it, we don't need to look it up *and* we don't need to bother with preventing subsequent userland mounts. That's the way we should've done that from the very beginning. There is a user-visible change, namely the disappearance of "rootfs" from /proc/filesystems. Note that it's been unmountable all along and it didn't show up in /proc/mounts; however, it *is* a user-visible change and theoretically some script might've been using its presence in /proc/filesystems to tell 2.4.11+ from earlier kernels. *IF* any complaints about behaviour change do show up, we could fake it in /proc/filesystems. I very much doubt we'll have to, though. Signed-off-by: Al Viro
