    Subject[PATCH v3 0/3] support booting of arbitrary non-blockdevice file systems
    Date
    Hi,

    This is V3 of patches. Christoph had posted V2 here.

    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20210621062657.3641879-1-hch@lst.de/

    There was a small issue in last patch series that list_bdev_fs_names()
    did not put an extra '\0' at the end as current callers were expecting.

    To fix this, I have modified list_bdev_fs_names() and split_fs_names()
    to return number of null terminated strings they have parsed. And
    modified callers to use that to loop through strings (instead of
    relying on an extra null at the end).

    Christoph was finding it hard to find time so I took his patches,
    added my changes in patch3 and reposting the patch series.

    I have tested it with 9p, virtiofs and ext4 filesystems as rootfs
    and it works for me.

    Thanks
    Vivek

    Christoph Hellwig (3):
    init: split get_fs_names
    init: allow mounting arbitrary non-blockdevice filesystems as root
    fs: simplify get_filesystem_list / get_all_fs_names
