init_mount_tree() can get to rootfs_fs_type directly and that simplifies a lot of things. We don't need to register it, we don't need to look it up *and* we don't need to bother with preventing subsequent userland mounts. That's the way we should've done that from the very beginning. There is a user-visible change, namely the disappearance of "rootfs" from /proc/filesystems. Note that it's been unmountable all along and it didn't show up in /proc/mounts; however, it *is* a user-visible change and theoretically some script might've been using its presence in /proc/filesystems to tell 2.4.11+ from earlier kernels. *IF* any complaints about behaviour change do show up, we could fake it in /proc/filesystems. I very much doubt we'll have to, though. Change-Id: I1c54226ef7ee8aba8019883bf9b9f175a35eff58 Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
