init: pass root_device_name explicitly

2023-06-05T16:55:20+00:00

Instead of declaring root_device_name as a global variable pass it as an argument to the functions using it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230531125535.676098-9-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

init: rename mount_block_root to mount_root_generic

2023-06-05T16:55:20+00:00

mount_block_root is also used to mount non-block file systems, so give it a better name. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230531125535.676098-7-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

init: add an init_mknod helper

2020-07-31T06:17:54+00:00

Add a simple helper to mknod with a kernel space file name and switch the early init code over to it. Remove the now unused ksys_mknod. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

init: add an init_unlink helper

2020-07-31T06:17:52+00:00

Add a simple helper to unlink with a kernel space file name and switch the early init code over to it. Remove the now unused ksys_unlink. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

init: add an init_mount helper

2020-07-31T06:17:51+00:00

Like do_mount, but takes a kernel pointer for the destination path. Switch over the mounts in the init code and devtmpfs to it, which just happen to work due to the implicit set_fs(KERNEL_DS) during early init right now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

init: mark create_dev as __init

2020-07-31T06:17:51+00:00

This helper is only used for the early init code. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

initrd: remove support for multiple floppies

2020-07-30T06:22:33+00:00

Remove the special handling for multiple floppies in the initrd code. No one should be using floppies for booting these days. (famous last words..) Includes a spelling fix from Colin Ian King . Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Linus Torvalds

md: move the early init autodetect code to drivers/md/

2020-07-16T13:34:47+00:00

Just like the NFS and CIFS root code this better lives with the driver it is tightly integrated with. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Song Liu Acked-by: Linus Torvalds

init: remove the bstat helper

2020-07-16T13:34:42+00:00

The only caller of the bstat function becomes cleaner and simpler when open coding the function. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: NeilBrown Acked-by: Song Liu Acked-by: Linus Torvalds

fs: add do_mknodat() helper and ksys_mknod() wrapper; remove in-kernel calls to syscall

2018-04-02T18:15:56+00:00

Using the fs-internal do_mknodat() helper allows us to get rid of fs-internal calls to the sys_mknodat() syscall. Introducing the ksys_mknod() wrapper allows us to avoid the in-kernel calls to sys_mknod() syscall. The ksys_ prefix denotes that this function is meant as a drop-in replacement for the syscall. In particular, it uses the same calling convention as sys_mknod(). This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
