    kernel: rootfs auto-mount on ubi · acbcd5f5
    John Crispin authored
    Similar to the rootfs hacks on NOR flash devices, this series
    introduces support for auto-attaching (ubi device), auto-creating
    (ubiblock device) and mounting the "rootfs" (ubifs or squashfs)
    volume.
    This is needed so OpenWrt can start without relying on the bootloader
    to pass the ubi.mtd, ubi.block, rootfs and rootfstype parameters, but
    instead auto-detect the root filesystem according to a simple convention.
    
    OpenWrt-specific:
    490-ubi-auto-attach-mtd-device-named-ubi-or-data-on-boot.patch
    491-ubi-auto-create-ubiblock-device-for-rootfs.patch
    492-try-auto-mounting-ubi0-rootfs-in-init-do_mounts.c.patch
    493-ubi-set-ROOT_DEV-to-ubiblock-rootfs-if-unset.patch
    
    sent upstream:
    552-ubifs-respect-silent-mount-flag.patch
    http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mtd/2014-May/053893.html
    
    
    
    v2: actually retry with MS_RDONLY when mounting read-only ubifs root
