[PATCH v3 0/3] 9p: add support for root file systems

From: Changbin Du
Date: Sun Jun 06 2021 - 19:11:15 EST


Just like cifs and nfs, this short series enables rootfs support for 9p.
Bellow is an example which mounts v9fs with tag 'r' as rootfs in qemu
guest via virtio transport.

$ qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -cpu host -m 1024 \
-virtfs local,path=$rootfs_dir,mount_tag=r,security_model=passthrough,id=r \
-kernel /path/to/linux/arch/x86/boot/bzImage -nographic \
-append "root=/dev/v9fs v9fsroot=r,trans=virtio rw console=ttyS0 3"

v3:
o rebase.

v2:
o use pr_err instead of printk.
o ROOT_DEV is only set after checking.
o cleanup DEFAULT_MNT_OPTS.
o do not retry mount for fd and virtio transport.
