This is a wrap-up of three patches pending upstream approval.
I'm bundling them because they are interdependent, and it'll be
easier to drop it on rebase later.
1. dm: allow a dm-fs-style device to be shared via dm-ioctl
Integrates feedback from Alisdair, Mike, and Kiyoshi.
Two main changes occur here:
- One function is added which allows for a programmatically created
mapped device to be inserted into the dm-ioctl hash table. This binds
the device to a name and, optional, uuid which is needed by udev and
allows for userspace management of the mapped device.
- dm_table_complete() was extended to handle all of the final
functional changes required for the table to be operational once
called.
2. init: boot to device-mapper targets without an initr*
Add a dm= kernel parameter modeled after the md= parameter from
do_mounts_md. It allows for device-mapper targets to be configured at
boot time for use early in the boot process (as the root device or
otherwise). It also replaces /dev/XXX calls with major:minor opportunistically.
The format is dm="name uuid ro,table line 1,table line 2,...". The
parser expects the comma to be safe to use as a newline substitute but,
otherwise, uses the normal separator of space. Some attempt has been
made to make it forgiving of additional spaces (using skip_spaces()).
A mapped device created during boot will be assigned a minor of 0 and
may be access via /dev/dm-0.
An example dm-linear root with no uuid may look like:
root=/dev/dm-0 dm="lroot none ro, 0 4096 linear /dev/ubdb 0, 4096 4096 linear /dv/ubdc 0"
Once udev is started, /dev/dm-0 will become /dev/mapper/lroot.
