From 30f2f0eb4bd2c43d10a8b0d872c6e5ad8f31c9a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kay Sievers Date: Tue, 6 May 2008 22:31:33 +0200 Subject: block: do_mounts - accept root= Some devices, like md, may create partitions only at first access, so allow root= to be set to a valid non-existant partition of an existing disk. This applies only to non-initramfs root mounting. This fixes a regression from 2.6.24 which did allow this to happen and broke some users machines :( Acked-by: Neil Brown Tested-by: Joao Luis Meloni Assirati Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- init/do_mounts.c | 27 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'init/do_mounts.c') diff --git a/init/do_mounts.c b/init/do_mounts.c index 3885e70e7759..660c1e50c91b 100644 --- a/init/do_mounts.c +++ b/init/do_mounts.c @@ -76,6 +76,7 @@ dev_t name_to_dev_t(char *name) char s[32]; char *p; dev_t res = 0; + int part; if (strncmp(name, "/dev/", 5) != 0) { unsigned maj, min; @@ -106,7 +107,31 @@ dev_t name_to_dev_t(char *name) for (p = s; *p; p++) if (*p == '/') *p = '!'; - res = blk_lookup_devt(s); + res = blk_lookup_devt(s, 0); + if (res) + goto done; + + /* + * try non-existant, but valid partition, which may only exist + * after revalidating the disk, like partitioned md devices + */ + while (p > s && isdigit(p[-1])) + p--; + if (p == s || !*p || *p == '0') + goto fail; + + /* try disk name without */ + part = simple_strtoul(p, NULL, 10); + *p = '\0'; + res = blk_lookup_devt(s, part); + if (res) + goto done; + + /* try disk name without p */ + if (p < s + 2 || !isdigit(p[-2]) || p[-1] != 'p') + goto fail; + p[-1] = '\0'; + res = blk_lookup_devt(s, part); if (res) goto done; -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
