rootfs: Fix support for rootfstype= when root= is given

2024-01-25T22:34:30+00:00

commit 21528c69a0d8483f7c6345b1a0bc8d8975e9a172 upstream. Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.rst states: If CONFIG_TMPFS is enabled, rootfs will use tmpfs instead of ramfs by default. To force ramfs, add "rootfstype=ramfs" to the kernel command line. This currently does not work when root= is provided since then saved_root_name contains a string and rootfstype= is ignored. Therefore, ramfs is currently always chosen when root= is provided. The current behavior for rootfs's filesystem is: root= | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem ------------+-------------+-------------------------- unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs unspecified | tmpfs | tmpfs unspecified | ramfs | ramfs provided | ignored | ramfs rootfstype= should be respected regardless whether root= is given, as shown below: root= | rootfstype= | chosen rootfs filesystem ------------+-------------+-------------------------- unspecified | unspecified | tmpfs (as before) unspecified | tmpfs | tmpfs (as before) unspecified | ramfs | ramfs (as before) provided | unspecified | ramfs (compatibility with before) provided | tmpfs | tmpfs (new) provided | ramfs | ramfs (new) This table represents the new behavior.

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

2019-09-13T01:05:34+00:00

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

2019-07-05T02:01:59+00:00

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

2019-07-05T02:01:59+00:00

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

init_rootfs(): don't bother with init_ramfs_fs()

2019-07-05T02:01:59+00:00

the only thing done by the latter is making ramfs visible to mount(2); we don't need it there - rootfs is separate and, in fact, made visible to mount(2) in the same init_rootfs(). Signed-off-by: Al Viro
