| |
Dear all,
So here is a new version of the patches to be reviewed, this time as suggested by Alasdair the patches are reworked to match with the new dmsetup bootformat feature [1]. These patches are not reviewed yet but the format was discussed in the IRC and was suggested to send the kernel patches in parallel.
Changes since v6: - Add a new function to issue the equivalent of a DM ioctl programatically. - Use the new ioctl interface to create the devices. - Use a comma-delimited and semi-colon delimited dmsetup-like commands.
Changes since v5: - https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2016-February/msg00112.html
[1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2017-May/msg00047.html
Wating for your feedback,
Enric Balletbo i Serra (1): dm ioctl: add a device mapper ioctl function.
Will Drewry (1): init: add support to directly boot to a mapped device
