I've continued to use this locally but should probably make another stab at submitting upstream. The obvious workaround until debian fixes its 100% obvious bug seems to be: diff --git a/fs/namespace.c b/fs/namespace.c index f8893dc..f57d5df 100644 --- a/fs/namespace.c +++ b/fs/namespace.c @@ -2417,7 +2417,17 @@ static int do_add_mount(struct mount *newmnt, struct path *path, int mnt_flags) err = -EBUSY; if (path->mnt->mnt_sb == newmnt->mnt.mnt_sb && path->mnt->mnt_root == path->dentry) + { + if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT) && + !strcmp(path->mnt->mnt_sb->s_type->name, "devtmpfs")) + { + printk(KERN_WARNING "Debian bug workaround for devtmpfs overmount."); + printk(KERN_WARNING "This line doesn't output for some reason."); + + err = 0; + } goto unlock; + } err = -EINVAL; if (d_is_symlink(newmnt->mnt.mnt_root)) Except for the second printk line: If you boot with rdinit=/bin/hush then the first time you mount -t devtmpfs /dev /dev after boot (with CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT already having mounted it), you get the 0 return value but the last printk() doesn't output? The second and later times you repeat it, both printk() lines are output. What's up with printk? (I added the second printk because the _first_ one wasn't outputting that first time. Something is happening to flush the printk() queue instead of writing it out? Built for x86-64, miniconfig attached for reference. I tested commit 4dfc2788033d from yesterday.)
