[PATCH 4/5] init: add support to directly boot to a mapped device

From: Enric Balletbo i Serra
Date: Tue Apr 11 2017 - 11:34:43 EST


From: Will Drewry <wad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add a dm= kernel parameter modeled after the md= parameter from
do_mounts_md. It allows for device-mapper targets to be configured at
boot time for use early in the boot process (as the root device or
otherwise).

+Boot time creation of mapped devices
+===================================
+
+It is possible to configure a device mapper device to act as the root
+device for your system in two ways.
+
+The first is to build an initial ramdisk which boots to a minimal
+userspace which configures the device, then pivot_root(8) in to it.
+
+For simple device mapper configurations, it is possible to boot directly
+using the following kernel command line:
+
+dm="<name> <uuid> <ro>,table line 1,...,table line n"
+
+name = the name to associate with the device
+ after boot, udev, if used, will use that name to label
+ the device node.
+uuid = may be 'none' or the UUID desired for the device.
+ro = may be 'ro' or 'rw'. If 'ro', the device and device table will be
+ marked read-only.
+
+Each table line may be as normal when using the dmsetup tool except for
+two variations:
+1. Any use of commas will be interpreted as a newline
+2. Quotation marks cannot be escaped and cannot be used without
+ terminating the dm= argument.
+
+Unless renamed by udev, the device node created will be dm-0 as the
+first minor number for the device-mapper is used during early creation.
+
+Example
+=======
+
+- Booting to a linear array made up of user-mode linux block devices:
+
+ dm="lroot none 0, 0 4096 linear 98:16 0, 4096 4096 linear 98:32 0" \
+ root=/dev/dm-0
+
+Will boot to a rw dm-linear target of 8192 sectors split across two
+block devices identified by their major:minor numbers. After boot, udev
+will rename this target to /dev/mapper/lroot (depending on the rules).
+No uuid was assigned.
