But at least the Debian/m68k initrd also +parses $rootflags from the environment and adds it to the call +to the user-space mount for the eventual root device, which +would make the kernel command line rootflags option be used in +both places (tmpfs and e.g. ext4) which is guaranteed to error +out in at least one of them. + +This change is intended to aid people in a setup where the +initrd is the final root filesystem, i.e. not mounted over. +This is especially useful in automated tests running on qemu +for boards with constrained memory (e.g. 64 MiB on sh4). + +Considering that the initramfs is normally emptied out then +overmounted, this change is probably safe for setups where +initramfs just hosts early userspace, too, since the tmpfs +backing it is not accessible any more later on, AFAICT. + +Signed-off-by: Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.org> +--- + init/do_mounts.c | 4 ++++ + 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) + +diff --git a/init/do_mounts.c b/init/do_mounts.c +index 82f2288..55a4cfe 100644 +--- a/init/do_mounts.c ++++ b/init/do_mounts.c +@@ -594,6 +594,7 @@ out: + } + + static bool is_tmpfs; ++static char tmpfs_rootflags[] = "nr_blocks=0,nr_inodes=0"; + static struct dentry *rootfs_mount(struct file_system_type *fs_type, + int flags, const char *dev_name, void *data) + { +@@ -606,6 +607,9 @@ static struct dentry *rootfs_mount(struct file_system_type *fs_type, + if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_TMPFS) && is_tmpfs) + fill = shmem_fill_super; + ++ if (is_tmpfs) ++ data = tmpfs_rootflags; ++ + return mount_nodev(fs_type, flags, data, fill); + } + +-- +2.0.0.rc0 + |
