[PATCH v4] ubifs: allow userspace to map mounts to volumes

From: Rabin Vincent
Date: Wed May 31 2017 - 05:40:40 EST


From: Rabin Vincent <rabinv@xxxxxxxx>

There currently appears to be no way for userspace to find out the
underlying volume number for a mounted ubifs file system, since ubifs
uses anonymous block devices. The volume name is present in
/proc/mounts but UBI volumes can be renamed after the volume has been
mounted.

To remedy this, show the UBI number and UBI volume number as part of the
options visible under /proc/mounts.

Also, accept and ignore the ubi= vol= options if they are used mounting
(patch from Richard Weinberger).

# mount -t ubifs ubi:baz x
# mount
ubi:baz on /root/x type ubifs (rw,relatime,ubi=0,vol=2)
# ubirename /dev/ubi0 baz bazz
# mount
ubi:baz on /root/x type ubifs (rw,relatime,ubi=0,vol=2)
# ubinfo -d 0 -n 2
Volume ID: 2 (on ubi0)
Type: dynamic
Alignment: 1
Size: 67 LEBs (1063424 bytes, 1.0 MiB)
State: OK
Name: bazz
Character device major/minor: 254:3
