Subject: [PATCH] switch-root: try pivot_root() before overmounting /
|
|
|
|
We should always try to umount the old root dir if possible, instead of
|
|
overmounting it -- if that's possible.
|
|
|
|
The initial ("first") kernel rootfs can never be umounted, hence
|
|
for the usual nitrd case we never bothered using pivot_root() and
|
|
hence with fully unmounting it. However, fedup now tranisitions twice
|
|
during boot, and in that case it is highly desirable that the "second"
|
|
root dir is entirely unmounted when we switch to the "third". This patch
|
|
makes that possible.
|
|
|
|
The pivot_root() needs a directory in the "third" root dir, to move the
|
|
"second" root dir to. We use /mnt for that, under the assumption that
|
|
this directory is likely to exist, and is not itself a mount point.
