Hi all,

I have some questions concerning to the file storage gadget (g_file_storage) and its compilation as built-in driver: AFAIK, the driver initialization fails cause the file system is not available when the driver tries to init the backing file (please correct me if I'm wrong). Now, for solving this issue I have used a notifier-chain that informs about the availability of the root file system (see below patch). This implementation works when the driver is compiled as loadable module too.
I think a better approach would be a sysfs file to set the backing file
(instead of the module parameter).

I agree.  Using the sysfs file would be a lot simpler.

You might want to change the file_storage.c source so that the
"removable" parameter defaults to True if the driver isn't built as a
module.

Thanks a lot. It works now (I removed 'g_file_storage.file' from the list of boot parameters and enabled the 'removable' parameter).
