2020-08-04dm init: Set file local variable staticDamien Le Moal
Declare dm_allowed_targets as static to avoid the warning: drivers/md/dm-init.c:39:12: warning: symbol 'dm_allowed_targets' was not declared. Should it be static? when compiling with C=1. Signed-off-by: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@wdc.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs: - A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on. - A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos, and one on Spectre vulnerabilities. - Various improvements to the build system, including automatic markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I will never understand, were of the opinion that :c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type. - We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4. - Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc" * tag 'docs-5.3' of git://git.lwn.net/linux: (129 commits) docs: automarkup.py: ignore exceptions when seeking for xrefs docs: Move binderfs to admin-guide Disable Sphinx SmartyPants in HTML output doc: RCU callback locks need only _bh, not necessarily _irq docs: format kernel-parameters -- as code Doc : doc-guide : Fix a typo platform: x86: get rid of a non-existent document Add the RCU docs to the core-api manual Documentation: RCU: Add TOC tree hooks Documentation: RCU: Rename txt files to rst Documentation: RCU: Convert RCU UP systems to reST Documentation: RCU: Convert RCU linked list to reST Documentation: RCU: Convert RCU basic concepts to reST docs: filesystems: Remove uneeded .rst extension on toctables scripts/sphinx-pre-install: fix out-of-tree build docs: zh_CN: submitting-drivers.rst: Remove a duplicated Documentation/ Documentation: PGP: update for newer HW devices Documentation: Add section about CPU vulnerabilities for Spectre Documentation: platform: Delete x86-laptop-drivers.txt docs: Note that :c:func: should no longer be used ...
2019-06-25dm init: remove trailing newline from calls to DMERR() and DMINFO()Stephen Boyd
These printing macros already add a trailing newline, so having another one here just makes for blank lines when these prints are enabled. Remove these needless newlines.

2019-06-25dm init: fix incorrect uses of kstrndup()Gen Zhang
Fix 2 kstrndup() calls with incorrect argument order. Fixes: 6bbc923dfcf5 ("dm: add support to directly boot to a mapped device") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v5.1 Signed-off-by: Gen Zhang <blackgod016574@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
2019-06-14docs: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab
The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and indentation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

2019-04-30dm init: fix max devices/targets checksHelen Koike
dm-init should allow up to DM_MAX_{DEVICES,TARGETS} for devices/targets, and not DM_MAX_{DEVICES,TARGETS} - 1. Fix the checks and also fix the error message when the number of devices is surpassed.

2019-03-05dm: add support to directly boot to a mapped deviceHelen Koike
Add a "create" module parameter, which allows device-mapper targets to be configured at boot time. This enables early use of DM targets in the boot process (as the root device or otherwise) without the need of an initramfs. The syntax used in the boot param is based on the concise format from the dmsetup tool to follow the rule of least surprise: dmsetup table --concise /dev/mapper/lroot Which is: dm-mod.create=<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+][;<name>,<uuid>,<minor>,<flags>,<table>[,<table>+]+] Where, <name> ::= The device name. <uuid> ::= xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx | "" <minor> ::= The device minor number | "" <flags> ::= "ro" | "rw" <table> ::= <start_sector> <num_sectors> <target_type> <target_args> <target_type> ::= "verity" | "linear" | ... For example, the following could be added in the boot parameters: dm-mod.create="lroot,,,rw, 0 4096 linear 98:16 0, 4096 4096 linear 98:32 0" root=/dev/dm-0 Only the targets that were tested are allowed and the ones that don't change any block device when the device is create as read-only. For example, mirror and cache targets are not allowed. The rationale behind this is that if the user makes a mistake, choosing the wrong device to be the mirror or the cache can corrupt data. The only targets initially allowed are: * crypt * delay * linear * snapshot-origin * striped * verity Co-developed-by: Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org> Co-developed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Co-developed-by: Enric Balletbo i Serra <enric.balletbo@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Helen Koike <helen.koike@collabora.com> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
