Dmitry,
How do we make sure that this is the first call to user mode helpers. I
see that we first unpacked unsigned initramfs. Then after a while we
unpacked signed initramfs on /root and did a chroot. But now there is
a window before chroot, where kernel might call into /sbin/hotplug or
/sbin/modprobe from unsigned initramfs?
Specifically, I put some printk and I am seeing calls to /sbin/hotplug
before we even unpacked signed initramfs.
Thanks
Vivek
