Subject: romfs: use different way to generate fsid for BLOCK or MTD
From: Coly Li <colyli@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit f598f82e204ec0b17797caaf1b0311c52d43fb9a ]
Commit 8a59f5d25265 ("fs/romfs: return f_fsid for statfs(2)") generates
a 64bit id from sb->s_bdev->bd_dev. This is only correct when romfs is
defined with CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK. If romfs is only defined with
CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD, sb->s_bdev is NULL, referencing sb->s_bdev->bd_dev
will triger an oops.
Richard Weinberger points out that when CONFIG_ROMFS_BACKED_BY_BOTH=y,
both CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK and CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD are defined.
Therefore when calling huge_encode_dev() to generate a 64bit id, I use
the follow order to choose parameter,
- CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK defined
use sb->s_bdev->bd_dev
- CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK undefined and CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD defined
use sb->s_dev when,
- both CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK and CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD undefined
leave id as 0
When CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD is defined and sb->s_mtd is not NULL, sb->s_dev
is set to a device ID generated by MTD_BLOCK_MAJOR and mtd index,
otherwise sb->s_dev is 0.
This is a try-best effort to generate a uniq file system ID, if all the
above conditions are not meet, f_fsid of this romfs instance will be 0.
Generally only one romfs can be built on single MTD block device, this
method is enough to identify multiple romfs instances in a computer.
