[merged] romfs-use-different-way-to-generate-fsid-for-block-or-mtd.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     Subject: romfs: use different way to generate fsid for BLOCK or MTD
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     romfs-use-different-way-to-generate-fsid-for-block-or-mtd.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: romfs: use different way to generate fsid for BLOCK or MTD

8a59f5d25265 ("fs/romfs: return f_fsid for statfs(2)") generates a 64bit
id from sb->s_bdev->bd_dev.  This is only correct when romfs is defined
with CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK.  If romfs is only defined with
CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD, sb->s_bdev is NULL, referencing sb->s_bdev->bd_dev
will triger an oops.

Richard Weinberger points out that when CONFIG_ROMFS_BACKED_BY_BOTH=y,
both CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK and CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD are defined.  Therefore
when calling huge_encode_dev() to generate a 64bit id, I use the follow
order to choose parameter,

- CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK defined
  use sb->s_bdev->bd_dev
- CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK undefined and CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD defined
  use sb->s_dev when,
- both CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_BLOCK and CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD undefined
  leave id as 0

When CONFIG_ROMFS_ON_MTD is defined and sb->s_mtd is not NULL, sb->s_dev
is set to a device ID generated by MTD_BLOCK_MAJOR and mtd index,
otherwise sb->s_dev is 0.

This is a try-best effort to generate a uniq file system ID, if all the
above conditions are not meet, f_fsid of this romfs instance will be 0. 
Generally only one romfs can be built on single MTD block device, this
method is enough to identify multiple romfs instances in a computer.
