[PATCH 4/5] initmpfs v2: Make rootfs use tmpfs when CONFIG_TMPFS enabled.

2013-07-16 Thread Rob Landley
From: Rob Landley r...@landley.net Conditionally call the appropriate fs_init function and fill_super functions. Add a use once guard to shmem_init() to simply succeed on a second call. (Note that IS_ENABLED() is a compile time constant so dead code elimination removes unused function calls when

2013-07-16 Thread Rob Landley
From: Rob Landley r...@landley.net When the rootfs code was a wrapper around ramfs, having them in the same file made sense. Now that it can wrap another filesystem type, move it in with the init code instead. This also allows a subsequent patch to access rootfstype= command line arg. Signed

[PATCH 0/5] initmpfs v2: use tmpfs instead of ramfs for rootfs

2013-07-16 Thread Rob Landley
Use tmpfs for rootfs when CONFIG_TMPFS=y and there's no root=. Specify rootfstype=ramfs to get the old initramfs behavior. The previous initramfs code provided a fairly crappy root filesystem: didn't let you --bind mount directories out of it, reported zero size/usage so it didn't show up in df

[PATCH 2/5] initmpfs v2: Move bdi setup from init_rootfs to init_ramfs

2013-07-16 Thread Rob Landley
From: Rob Landley r...@landley.net Even though ramfs hasn't got a backing device, commit e0bf68ddec4f added one anyway, and put the initialization in init_rootfs() since that's the first user, leaving it out of init_ramfs() to avoid duplication. But initmpfs uses init_tmpfs() instead, so move
